- Abstract: In recent years, Wuhan’s traditional alleyway neighborhoods (“Lifen”) have gradually shifted from residential units to commercialized development, inevitably leading to weakened residential functions and fading cultural characteristics. This study takes Tongxing Lane as its research object, examining how color design can introduce commercial vitality while preserving the cultural essence of these historic alleyways. It explores the critical role of color design in revitalizing traditional residential units—balancing urban development with historical continuity through synergistic approaches with commerce—where the dual demands of cultural representation and commercial vibrancy pose urgent challenges for urban regeneration and planning. The paper is structured in three parts: First, it investigates the cultural values embedded in Jing-Chu regional color traditions and early modern architectural palettes. Next, it analyzes the significance of spatial color in historic streetscapes for both cultural preservation and commercial appeal. Finally, employing quantitative methods such as cluster analysis, the study visualizes Tongxing Lane’s chromatic profile and cross-references it with cultural color benchmarks. This systematic evaluation reveals gaps in the current color scheme’s efficacy for cultural symbolism and commercial functionality, elevating color from mere aesthetics to a mediatory tool reconciling culture and commerce. Grounded in urban renewal principles, the research concludes with color optimization strategies for Tongxing Lane’s public spaces.
