Abstract

This chapter aimed to describe and discuss the theories that explain some aspects of nature and the research into the effects of a coloured environment on humans. The theories were proposed from various but related domains in previous studies, ranging from existing colour theories, psychology, human biology, learning, ecology and performance perspectives. The discussion highlighted some findings, research gaps, and arguments for a clearer understanding of the applications and to highlight their significance. Research with the preparation of a theoretical framework from its early stage, covering a multitude of perspectives, could facilitate an exchange of ideas across domains and develop creative and possible outcomes to enhance knowledge of the built environment. © 2025 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
