【 摘 要 】

Moscow and Saint Petersburg experienced similar evolutions in colour, but the differences in their plans, urbanity and cultural influences, and their alternating roles as capitals, determined the particularities of their palettes. The wooden Moscow of the thirteenth century was enriched by a group of white cathedrals with golden domes, surrounded by the red brick wall of the Kremlin. Baroque, as an architectural style, introduced Moscow and Saint Petersburg to the colours dark blue, orange, and green. The official palette of classicism was pastel, predominantly ochre, while the period of eclecticism in Russia was achromatic. At the beginning of the twentieth century, art nouveau reinvigorated cities with colour — green, orange and purple. During the 1920s and 1930s, the Constructivists used grey tones, but attempted to work out a chromatically homogeneous palette. Soviet architecture reprised the aesthetics of classicism’s ochre. Mass construction of housing from the 1960s to 1980s ignored colour, but at the turn of the twenty-first century professional approaches to colour have appeared, aiming to create chromatic environments in both cities.
