Abstract
Humans need a balance between visual excitement and repose, on occasion between the overloading of our senses and our surroundings. Urban space is a privileged lab for the study of environmental questions and for the evaluation of the interaction of the whole of factors, which integrate the urban system, where the natural factors inter-relate themselves with the human factors, originating a particular echo-system of intense energetic changes where the environment and the anthropologic components perform an essential role in the formation and regulation of the habitat. Color, being a derisive of space, establishes relationships with the other components, creating a dialogue and giving it a meaning. This paper presents the results of a research to prove the existence of a unity of visual communication formed by color and space, which is fundamental when exploring color/space visual programming in urban space, having in mind the visual comfort of the space users.
