Seven color contrasts are considered in the article; they were described in the book «The Elements of Colour» by Johannes Itt en. In the fi rst part the theory of color contrasts is perceived to be a specifi c phenomenon, which shows how the colors interact with each other. In the second part of article there is the analysis of the architectural elements based on the Itt en‘s theory of color contrasts. So, the interaction of color contrasts and their infl uence on building and its perception and forms are identifi ed by the color contrasts.
