The use of color in architectural design plays a key role in defining the visual identity of cities, creating distinctive landmarks and shaping the appearance of architectural structures. Color not only affects the aesthetics of buildings, but also the perception of urban spaces by residents and visitors. It builds the unique character of a place shaping its dynamic identity created by changing design trends. The aim of the study is to objectively assess contemporary practices and attitudes towards the use of color in Polish architecture. The paper offers insight into how color affects the visual landscape of Polish cities, drawing attention to its importance in the context of architectural design in the 21st century. The main issue the paper addresses is an analysis of current color trends in contemporary Polish architecture and an attempt to create a database that could serve as a reference point for future projects. The results of the study are intended to serve as a valuable resource for architects, urban planners and researchers, enabling them to better understand the dynamic role of color in shaping modern urban spaces and their aesthetics.
