Summary/Abstract: Architecture, vis-a-vis other arts – theater, opera, ballet, theater, etc. is a static art, with very few exceptions – such as the movements in the buildings of Santiago Calatrava. However, in addition to mechanical movement, in architecture the fourth dimension – „time“ can be added to the architectural composition by means of light and its integral part – the color. Once, this can be the light of our star the Sun, who gives different colors to the hours of the day. Secondly, change can be accomplished by artificial light, using new technologies as led (light emitting diode), so interiors and exteriors can shine in different colors. All depends on the fantasy and courage of architects. In the following paper some case-studies with interaction between light and color are explored and also the impact on people, living or visiting those buildings or interiors is researched.
