The aesthetic effect of architectural color is determined by the interaction of material color and the influence of light in the built space. The atmospheric effect of the color changes with the angle of the sun to the component, with the season, the time of day and the weather. Paintings and color prints on unstructured paper or representations on computer monitors are only meaningful if planners and designers know all the influencing factors and can assess their spatial effects.
