	The article raises the issues of color and light in architecture as part of what is called the „smart city”, where Communications and aesthetics solve the latest technology. Color and light in „smart city” create mainly its artistic side, intellectual and emotional game aimed at ordering space for life, the need that lies in the nature of man. The fact is that all color composition in the urban interior is subject to unconscious and unavoidable observation, subconsciously influenced (scientifically proven) to the psyche and physiology of the observer. The analysis of the colors of architectural ensembles in Poland points to the still secondary role that is the color of both buildings and the context. Visible in Poland the color chaos of most urban interiors still leaves no illusions in this regard. However, the hope of improving the situation is the global exchange of designers’ experiences and intense migration between rapidly emerging new urban centers, leading to the need for color coding of entire residential complexes.
