Abstract
As a city with a long history, Macao has valuable resources rich in historical and cultural heritage, which has many historical buildings with unique colors. The color of the architectural environment plays an important role in its conservation and renewal. This study aims to explore strategies for the color conservation and color renewal in the architectural environment of the Historic Centre of Macao. Through the field investigation and analysis of the historic center of Macao, the environmental principles of architectural color conservation were determined, including the conservation and restoration of the original architectural appearance of the historic district, the integrity and richness of the main color of the building, and the control principles of color and other environmental elements. Aiming at the architectural color conservation in Macao's historic urban area, this paper puts forward some strategies, such as determining the architectural color tone, establishing a color database, and giving some suggestions on conservation and renewal, and provides some references and guidance for the renovation and construction of Macao's historic urban area.
