The article aims to analyze and categorize selected color solutions used today for elements intended for sitting in public spaces. The research results are discussed and presented in three categories, each concerning a different way of applying color to seats according to their primary function in the space. The first group consists of typical city and park benches. Since their superior features are functionality and practicality, in most cases, their dominant colors are connected with their construction material - brown for wood, grey for stone or concrete, or black or green for metal. The second group includes individual seats designed as unique accents in public spaces. These seats are often created as temporary installations, as a result of competitions or artistic activities, and their expressive colors and/or unconventional forms often evoke extreme emotions among observers. The last discussed group forms seats designed as an important and sometimes even essential element of a given public space. Their color becomes the leitmotif of visual identification and gives the place character. Only one color is often chosen for those seats to increase the monochromatic effect in the space.
