The research object is urban colour as an independent cultural phenomenon, and its subject is a sociocultural context of urban coloristics. The paper presents a theoretical model of the structure of urban colour, contains characteristics of formation and interaction mechanisms between the main components of the model and the analysis of a specific case proving and illustrating core principles of the basic theoretical model. A combination of two basic methods was used during the research. At the first stage, a theoretical model of the structure of the urban colour culture was built on the basis of document analysis. At the second stage, the study was conducted with the help of case–study methodology. The sources of the research accounted for documents from the funds of archives, architectural photographs, artistic and graphical works, multicoloured photo–postcards with cityscapes, documents regulating urban coloristics. The conducted theoretical and empirical analysis concluded that the key characteristic of the urban colour culture is the splitting of urban coloristics into two parts — official and domestic. Each element of this dichotomous model possesses its own semantics and fulfils different social functions. The norms of the urban mode of life (urbanity) are realized in official colour culture. Its colours are historically changeable, progressive and subject to the so-called colour globalization. On the contrary, domestic colour spaces represent the peculiarities of the rural pattern (rurality) and possess marked territorial characteristics. [A1] Two components of urban colour culture not only coexist compiling urban coloristics. They constantly interact and as a result of their interaction, a certain colour composition appears in urban space. Synchronic and diachronic layers of the color field are easy to reconstruct. They rather precisely represent the character and disposition of social power, show the peculiarities of relations between individual and collective agents of the social field, characteristic sign–symbolical codes, mechanisms of colour representation and maintenance of colour connotations. Together the components of urban culture form a stable system, a structure that should be taken into account while designing colour compositions for modern cities. [A1]This is still unclear, you are making unnecessary boundaries between those two distinctive features. In my opinion, it is important to ask and explore what do they have in common.
