Le Corbusier was a born artist, despite not having studied architecture or design, he had the facility to combine colors and select a harmonious color scheme. Primary colors were his main color palette. Among the colors that stood out are: red, blue, and yellow. These colors were the most important in his works, and the urban environment directly in uenced its organization and design pointless adornment, and using prefabricated materials like reinforced concrete.

Le Corbusier reveals the personality of each wall with color. He considered that each wall should be animated by color because in this way he assigned dimensions and proportions within his nal works. He applied this concept from geometry, re ected in his plans, as well as in terms of its building structures.
