Purpose: Previous studies on the management and improvement of public art have lacked specific proposals on how to approach color management in public art, indicating an essential gap in understanding this aspect. Moreover, advancing public art requires interdisciplinary research integrating color science. Therefore, this study aims to propose strategies for improving the color management process in public art, focusing on the color management of sculptures as public artworks. Methods: I would like to investigate the Seoul Metropolitan Government's public art installation and management process and establish a sculpture color management process by identifying the current status and problems of color management at each stage. Results: Findings of the study are as follows: The existing Seoul public art color management process lacks the color recording process and the objective color measurement stage of the work. In addition, there is a limit to reproducing the original color because the paint and restoration materials used in the work are not recorded. The improvements are as follows. In the color planning stage, a paint record for the production of the work and a material record for the preservation of the work were proposed. In the color evaluation stage, the color evaluation and the suitability evaluation criteria of the paint were presented. During the production and installation stage, it was possible to accurately compare the color of the original work with the color of the damaged work. In the maintenance and management stage, a color restoration plan can be established based on the measurement results of color change. Implications: Color restoration can be performed based on a scale that can be compared with the original color. Therefore, artists, art work deliberation committees, managers, and restoration experts need to understand sculpture color management at the entire stage of the sculpture color management process as public art, and color experts need to deliberate on art works that can evaluate the color of the work. In addition, each stage and format should be utilized in connection with each other.
