Abstract

- When we speak of the representation of space by means of color, we do not mean one of the many possible modes of representation, but that with the perception of color an organic and complete experience of space is given. - The interest of a spatial determination lies in the fact that the principle with which the colors vary is light, so that it is precisely the light that determines the great chromatic variability, that is the spatiality of the color, the tone, and it is precisely the tone which gives the city the value of a spatial context. - Color works in symbiosis with matter, with shape, with their contours, expressing their volumes while being an interpretation of our mind and therefore subjected to its own culture, to its environment, to its past. The culture and aesthetics of the places are found in color. Color does not exist! Color is magic, a dream is an act of imagination of our brain. Let's learn to use it… oops! We learn to manage it while knowing that it is something unmanageable. We understand if there are tools to manage it or if it is necessary to acquire a visual sensitivity. Color is an art and as such has the ability to express feelings. The tools used in everyday work: collections, palettes, color systems. The complexity of the design of an artifact and the use of the chromatic component.
