At the West Historic Quarter in Hakodate, the color of the townscape has been keeping a harmony though many western style houses have been used various paint colors and their color has often changed. This study aims to clarify the formation mechanism of this color of the townscape. As a result, we found that many residents have selected the color considering the relationship among of them, their houses and surrounding environment. In the background, there were several characteristics of the western style houses with ornaments, the port city, symbolic historical buildings, etc., in the quarter, where the interaction between paint colors and residents' life has occured. And residents have understood and felt strong attachment for the characteristics through their houses painting.
