Abstract

This study examines the color characteristics and digital conservation pathways of the Dai stilted architecture in Nuogan Ancient Village, Huimin Town, Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, from the perspective of ecological aesthetics. Based on a five-day field investigation, methods including observation, photographic documentation, color card comparison, and interviews were employed to identify the types and spatial distribution of architectural colors and their relationship with the natural environment. The research reveals that the village's architecture is characterized by lowsaturation natural tones—primarily brown and greenish-gray—accentuated by symbolic colors such as red and green, collectively forming a visual harmony with the surrounding ancient tea forest ecosystem. In light of the risks posed by tourism development to traditional color systems, this paper proposes a digital revitalization framework centered on lightweight digital archiving, Augmented Reality (AR) interpretation, and community participation, aiming to offer reference for the preservation and transmission of architectural colors in similar traditional settlements.
