Abstract
The color of cities is a striking feature of their culture, heritage and built environment. By examining the chromatic reconstruction of 3,103 heritage buildings over 40 years in Singapore, we note dynamic changes in local color in the city and suggest that color should be preserved as part of the sociocultural ecology.
