A Comparative Study of the Color Culture of Traditional Palace Architecture in Korea China, and Japan in the 15th Century

A comparative analysis of the color culture in traditional palace architecture reveals that while South Korea and China share similar hue and color quantity, South Korea and Japan exhibit closer brightness and chroma. The study highlights how natural geography, cultural environment, and historical context shape architectural colors, reflecting distinct national characteristics despite common features. Researchers employed field measurements, literature reviews, and expert interviews to uncover these patterns, providing theoretical insights for future cultural design and urban heritage preservation.
