Abstract This study is based on the investigations of structures in kum-nam road located in Gwangju. We looked around the way their colors organize and the present condition, and quantitative analyzed the image and preference of them by psychological experiment which enabled us understand their mutual relation. The objective of this study is to empirically examine quantified basic data that can induce colors from the view of stable harmony and unity with surroundings when color-planning of structures' external wall on street from now on. The result indicated that there were three sections which showed color difference below 20 in the street of laboratory work object and that 3 other sections which exceeded 20 of color difference among those that have high preference average showed low preference. The other two sections made a color difference by 25, which is more than 20, but it could be accepted as a range of validity color difference to some degree, considering its high preference rate. This study is about specific street, so it is necessary to color induction to structures in order to make desirable streetscape. For this, it is also necessary to study color-planning method of street that can control color difference within a regular range by adjusting chroma and value although the color is a bit crossed at certain point. With this study, we can consider the relation between colors and surroundings deciding to choose the color of the structure.
