The Qianmen Area in Beijing is an important symbol of the ancient capital’s style, and the colors of its commercial buildings are a crucial component of the city’s overall appearance. This article traces the historical evolution, renovation, and restoration of the Qianmen Area, and analyzes the colors of its commercial buildings through practical research. It organizes the architectural colorscape, studies the influencing factors of building colors, and applies the international color standard system, Munsell, to analyze color patterns. The aim is to provide a reference for research on traditional architectural colors in Beijing.
