Le Corbusier's 63 architectural colours
Timeless, always up to date and with an incomparable aesthetic
Le Corbusier developed a colour theory which between 1931 and 1952, he materialised by creating two architectural colour palettes which are harmonious embody specific spatial and human effects. From this, a reliable tool and guide for architects and designers was created.
The Polychromie Architecturale is a coherent architectural colour system of Le Corbusier. A standardized colour palette of two collections with defined colour functions and inherent colour theory - for professional colour design where no mistakes can be made.
For a simplified colour selection, Le Corbusier arranged the 63 architectural colours of his Architectural Polychromy in different moods. These colour keyboards enable perfect and surprising colour harmonies at the same time.

Le Corbusier is considered the most important architect of modern times. Based on his incomparable experience and his continuous practice of architectural use of colour, he developed the eternal chromatic theory of colour - the Architectural Polychromy.
"Colour in architecture – a means as powerful as the ground plan and section. Or better: polychromy, a component of the ground plan and the section itself."

" Polychromy is the most alive thing there is and also the most current. "
