description Color studies and chromatic palettes were commissioned for the design of two interpretation centers aimed at enhancing and promoting heritage sites in the Region of O´Higgins, Chile. Their purpose was to provide overall consistency and identity to the overall project. During each project’s preliminary qualitative research, a transdisciplinary team collected information on the ground using interviews, chromatic surveys, photographs and others. The idea of expanding the color palette concept onto a spatial order that was conceptually consistent with the architectural project –called “chromatic universe”– was suggested, and its purpose was to facilitate the use of colors during the design process. While these universes were used differently in both projects, consistency and identity were achieved, as well as guidance on the use of colors. Chromatic universes are expected to open up possibilities for their use in other architecture and design projects.
