AB  - The text deals with the development of the colour of modernist panel housing estates from primary grey to the current colour intemperance. The 1960's and 70's form, hidden under the layers of insulation, is pointed out on examples of good and bad practice from the author's work sphere, and potential conceptual solutions are presented. The importance of documenting the disappearing features as well as relatively late buildings and estates is emphasized. The housing estate of Bohnice is the most represented in the illustrations, since it has become a laboratory investigating the effect of various approaches to the façade colour, followed by the Petřiny housing estate, where the implementation of the proposed concept is the most complete. The article is based on the author's long-term scientific interest in the housing estate architecture, and on her practical experience in the position of head of the architect construction department of Prague 8 (1997-2001) and official of the local urban development department of Prague 6 (2002-2007).
