Abstract:
In the context of an aging population, it is important today to take into account the needs of our seniors, to help them better live their aging. The design of colour and lighting ambiance contributes in the practice of their daily activities in their living environment. This study postulates a protocol of good practices in terms of colour and lighting to design a visual environment adapted to the needs of these users. The protocol is based on a combination of chromatic and lighting expertise. Chromatic colour matching based on Natural Colour System tools is combined with a photometric survey to characterize the visual environment. These data make it possible to establish a protocol used to design new chromatic ranges applied to new environments or to evaluate the applicability of the existing ranges.
