The colouring is an important part of architecture, environment and the overall Genius loci, which is considerd as an attribute of cultural diversity. Our research deals with the materials of various objects of ironwork sites. We have observed, compared and evaluated this issue in four locations. Despite the fact that there are lot of information about the history of ironworks, there are no relevant studies about their colouring. Initially the influence of "official" architecture, its means of expression and colouring to industrial architecture was shown. The colouring of this architecture is much more moderate and is based on the functioning of used material. In the later period the impact of functionalism and the maximal dosility of industrial constructions was manifested. In the contribution the individual development stages focused on colour-typological classification will be presented.
