In this situation the area of each color is measured and computed by counting Pixels of Image that redesign by the computer.
Method is Laboratory research which will base on the results of quantitative measurements. This does with redesigned on the original designs and counting pixels in each surface of color is calculated by existing graphical software. Research population includes all Moaghali designs. Which is located at the periphery of Qhyasyeh of Khargerd School?
The results show that the increase of color levels compared to the bricks of the field has a direct relationship with increasing importance of the facade. For example: the presence of color in the main entrance that became more decorative than other views.
