A model proposal for the assessment of facade colour perception parameters: Screen experiment

Abstract

Colours chosen in the facade colour design process can be perceived differently depending on the colour perception parameters when applied to the buildings. Therefore, during the application phase, different colour impressions of the facades may occur. There are various studies in the literature that have been carried out to predict these differences and make designs in line with these predictions. These studies, which evaluate colour perception parameters through on-site investigations, were carried out in different geographical conditions; under different environmental and daylight conditions. Consequently, considering the effect of these variability on the colour perception, a model has been proposed to evaluate the parameters of facade colour perception under fixed conditions and a screen experiment has been carried out in this direction. The screen experiment has been constructed on inherent colour perceived colour comparison with fifty-six images made of various combination of four different facade colour and three colour perception parameters. The results obtained from the experiment were evaluated and the evaluation data were compared with the literature studies. With this study the screen experiment in the scope of the model about colour perception parameters that play an important role in facade colour design has been introduced and the contribution of the experiment to the literature has been presented.
