ABSTRACT

China is a cultural power with a long history and vast territory, and has a rich and splendid architectural culture on the vast Chinese land, in which architectural color outlines a strong and colorful stroke. In a broad sense, architectural color refers to the color reflected in the sunlight by the materials and paints used on the building facade, but in a narrow sense, it also reflects the unique culture of a city, a region and a street to a large extent. This paper focuses on the study of street architectural colors, which are like the business cards of a city.
