Abstract:
The theme of aesthetics with a purpose is discussed by using examples of existing structures to show how color affects how people feel, act, and think. Background data for architects, designers, and builders includes information on pigments, colors, coloration, concentration, shape and texture, installa-tion, weatherability, efflorescence, maintenance, and color matching. *
