How Did ‘Colors’ Influence the Design of Cities and Buildings?

Colors helped people make cities and buildings look pretty and feel special.

Imagine you have a magic paintbrush that changes how people feel when they see something. If you use blue, it makes people calm, like being near the ocean. If you use red, it makes people excited, like jumping into a fire truck. Cities and buildings used these colors to help people feel happy or relaxed every day.

Big buildings might wear gold on top for royalty, while streets could be painted with green to make them look like forests. People even used white in sunny places so it felt cool, just like wearing a light shirt in the sun.

By picking colors that matched how people felt, cities and buildings became magical places where everyone wanted to live and play.
