Due to the rise in average life expectancy, the speed of aging in Korea is accelerating so fast that it has recorded the top among OECD nations. In such situation, Korean government is putting effort to make various policies and alternatives to prepare for the aging society expanding welfare facilities for senior citizens. Of such facilities, senior citizen center is one of the elderly leisure welfare facilities, playing a pivotal role in social activities of the elderly people. It is also the vastest facility assets in the domestic welfare facilities network, and should get attention since it is an elderly facility with great accessibility for the elderly living in local communities. However, considering the great amount of this infrastructure, user evaluation is in low level in that the support for and environment of the facility are poor, so we should consider methods to improve the quality. In that color environment is the optimum method for users’ psychological satisfaction and quality improvement of the environment at low cost, this research studied the aspect of the elderly’s color preference, and based on 12 senior citizen centers in Busan where the distribution rate of senior citizen centers compared to the number of the elderly population, the current status of color environment and environment color based on the elderly color preference were analyzed. The followings are concluded from the research. First, the elderly prefer warm colors such as red, yellow, green, and preferred ‘delicate’, ‘warm’, ‘simple’ and ‘pale’ as color image. They also tend to prefer ‘natural’ and ‘classic.’ Second, the result of color characteristics analysis shows that Y and YR colors account for more than 70% of the senior citizen center, which coincides with the elderly’s preference for warm colors, but because Y color is overused, it is recommended to use G colors and cold colors. Third, there was not a big difference in color distribution depending on the type, but for house types, R and RP colors were used relatively less frequently. Fourth, in terms of spatial color, precedent research shows that the G, B and R colors preferred by the elderly are less used, so it is recommended to use G, B and R colors for walls and furniture of senior citizen centers in the future.
