Abstract
Work carried out in Japan on planning the colour of interior environments is reported. A survey has been made of the colours used in cinema and hotel foyers, hospitals, schools, homes and flats located mainly in Tokyo. The results are analysed and presented as frequency curves for Munsell hue, value and chroma. Preferences are also discussed in terms of Munsell notation and the ISCC-NBS designations. The balance point for each type of room is computed and the type of colour composition is classified. From a subjective appraisal of different colour schemes using slides and models, acceptable colour schemes for the different types of room are given in terms of the balance point and colour composition.
