Abstract

 
By studying and examining the contemporary urban landscape, it becomes evident that the primary concern of this study is research about urban design and aesthetic concepts in urban architecture, environmental graphics, and elements such as color which are often neglected by urban design managers and what mainly receive their attention are roads and building construction. When it comes to being colorful, our cities require considerable change so that the urban view and landscapes can be perceived as more beautiful. To solve these issues and problems, the comprehensive plan of the city's color palette is considered in this study. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the purpose of the research is study and to emphasize the necessity to develop a comprehensive color palette for the city, by analyzing and understanding the core concept of color in urban planning and architecture, the color utilization in the city, developing a comprehensive plan for the color palette of the city, developing comprehensive color palette document of the city, and management of color landscape of the city. The results of the study show that the management of the color landscape of the city can be promoted by paying attention to the urban landscapes, environmental graphics, and improved urban space development. Moreover, these mentioned results can be an efficient step forward to improving the quality of urban environments and developing an implementation for the comprehensive color palette plan for the city.
