As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or experiences, but generally, architects approach the use of color in their designs as follows:
1. Finding inspiration: Architects find inspiration for the color scheme of a project by considering the surrounding environment, culture, and historical context.
2. Setting moods and emotions: The choice of colors sets the tone and creates a specific mood in a space. They choose the hue, intensity, and saturation to communicate the desired emotion and mood.
3. Design Unity: Architects would create a color scheme that creates a sense of unity and harmony among the different elements of the space. They work with the building's original features and the client's requirements to create a color palette that complements the materials and textures.
4. Enhancing functionality: Architects also consider the functional aspect of color, such as creating contrast for visual interest or highlighting areas of importance.
5. Playing with light: They also take into account the quality of light that will play on the different colors, such as natural light, artificial light, and reflected light.
6. Incorporating cultural and psychological considerations: They also consider the cultural significance and psychological connotations of certain colors for specific people, such as the meanings associated with red, white or black in different cultures or the impact of colors on mental health.
