The article provides an overview of specific ways to work with the colors, used in the design strategy to create a comfortable and harmonious environment of residential areas. It shows the importance of such envi-ronmental qualities as identity, memorability and ease of orientation by the example of creating the unique art objects and elements of navigation. The color combination of components of the environment organizations at different scale levels and within the framework of individual parts of residential areas or courtyards is also considered.
Key words: public space, color, residential area, color environment, urban environment components, place identity.
