Color imagined by the town’s inhabitants was studied on the basis of the chromatic relations they make when perceiving their environment and living in the place. Urban imaginaries related to affective, emotional and sensory loads were thus recognized. These findings allowed to create a graphic summary proposing the town’s characterization based on the tones identified. The project followed a qualitative methodological approach that employed a survey, applied to the population, along with a workshop targeting a local school’s students for the data collection. In addition to this primary information, specialized literature was also examined. It was evidenced how the analysis of color from the dweller’s perspective enables a reading of the place’s culture and promotes a dialogue with the community. In this way, it is possible to characterize cultural identity elements, fostering their recognition and appropriation. Este artículo presenta los resultados de una fase del proyecto investigativo Territorios del color, desarrollada en Ráquira (Boyacá). Se estudió el color imaginado por los pobladores a partir de las asociaciones cromáticas definidas por estos en la percepción del entorno y en la experiencia de habitar el lugar. Se identificaron así imaginarios urbanos relacionados con cargas afectivas, emocionales y sensoriales. Con estos hallazgos se elaboró una síntesis gráfica que plantea una caracterización del municipio basada en las tonalidades referidas. La propuesta metodológica de enfoque cualitativo empleó como instrumentos para la recolección de datos una encuesta aplicada a la población y un taller con estudiantes de secundaria de un colegio local. Conjuntamente con esta información primaria se examinó literatura especializada. El trabajo evidenció que el análisis del color desde la perspectiva del habitante permite leer la cultura del lugar y promueve un diálogo con la comunidad. De este modo, a su vez, es posible caracterizar elementos de identidad cultural e impulsar su reconocimiento y apropiación.
