In that color environment is the optimum method for users’ psychological satisfaction and quality improvement of the environment at low cost, this research studied the aspect of the elderly’s color preference, and based on 12 senior citizen centers in Busan where the distribution rate of senior citizen centers compared to the number of the elderly population, the current status of color environment and environment color based on the elderly color preference were analyzed.

They also tend to prefer ‘natural’ and ‘classic.’ Second, the result of color characteristics analysis shows that Y and YR colors account for more than 70% of the senior citizen center, which coincides with the elderly’s preference for warm colors, but because Y color is overused, it is recommended to use G colors and cold colors. Third, there was not a big difference in color distribution depending on the type, but for house types, R and RP colors were used relatively less frequently. Fourth, in terms of spatial color, precedent research shows that the G, B and R colors preferred by the elderly are less used, so it is recommended to use G, B and R colors for walls and furniture of senior citizen centers in the future.
