Color is present in all aspects of our lives. We live in a world of color. Since color crosses many art and scientific practices and disciplines, it cannot be fully grasped from a single approach. Color is particularly relevant for creative works or projects as an unavoidable means of expression. This project aims at identifying the colors present in the natural landscapes of the Los Rios region.

The Los Rios region has exceptional landscapes that span from the ocean to the mountains: 63 rivers, 11 lakes, different types of vegetation, soils, and skies that change their brightness even during one day. This extraordinary geography and landscapes endow the region with a typical chromatic atmosphere, resulting from the interplay among all its colors and lights.

We have created a color chart for the Los Rios region based on the chromatic measurements of 208 of its natural elements, which were divided into two categories: i) Objects (soils, rocks, and vegetation; for example, leaves and flowers); and ii) Atmospheres (skies, waters, and landscapes). Each color has its own specifications in multiple classification systems so users can find what they are looking for.

This color chart and the palette built upon it can be used for creative design, architecture, craft, geography, and art projects, among others.
