This study explores the application of computational tools in color facade design within architecture, focusing on creating harmonious and visually appealing exteriors. By utilizing various color harmony rules and systems, including RGB and Munsell, designers can generate customized color palettes that enhance facades' identity and integration. We examine the complexities of color combinations, the significance of environmental colors, and the challenges faced when interpreting results due to conflicting color systems. Recommendations for software improvements and design strategies are also provided.

Identity Similarity Contrast Harmony
Two step process • Generate the colour palette • Generate the set of colour combinations Parameters • Environmental colours • Undesirable hue ranges • Identity level • Similarity range • Contrast level • Step (granularity) • Manually alter the values for saturation and value Colour Combinations software
Harmony definitions limited to hue • Excessive computation time for more than 50 hues • High knowledge of colour harmony and systems needed to adjust variables and interpret results • Conflict between Munsell and HSL colour systems produces distortions in harmonies • Manual selection and development required to produce useable designs Limitations
Input by colour rather than number • Output format to allow better assessment of scheme in context • Allow a variety of facade forms rather than single example • Use different elements to establish context or provide unifying colour • Fix specific colours within a scheme or limit specific elements to their own palettes • Specify patterns or rhythms within a colour scheme • Allow variation in saturation and value • Address relative complexity of the design involving form and area of design elements • Use a more perceptually accurate colour system than HSL Possible further development
