Quantitative Analysis of Color Characteristics of the Buildings in the Streets and Alleys of Huizhou Based on Visual Perception: A Case Study of Hongcun

A quantitative analysis of the color characteristics of buildings in Hongcun, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southern Anhui, reveals that Huizhou architecture predominantly features warm tones and low chroma, with brightness distribution enhancing color hierarchy. The study found that hue ranges from 0° to 60°, chroma from 0 to 33, and brightness is most prominent in medium to high ranges. Color harmony values remain stable between 0.6 and 0.9, indicating a high level of visual consistency. This research introduces objective metrics for analyzing color composition and distribution, offering scientific evidence for the preservation of traditional architecture and modern design strategies.
