This category is awarded to the submission that the jury believes demonstrates the most outstanding use of colour in a project. The winning project best utilises colour, including black and white, to the best possible outcome – whether for aesthetics, form delineation, utility or brand presence. As appropriate to the project, colour used in wall, floor, ceiling, interior, exterior, furnishings, lighting, objects and art will all be considered, as will balance, fluidity and relevance of colour use. Originality will also be considered.

Submissions to this category must also include a separate Sustainability statement to be considered for the Sustainability Award.
