Summary:This article proposes to research the complex phenomenon of color in an architectural environment from the presentation of a specific methodology, based on historical-document research and technical-architectural developed for the particular case of six religious monuments of the Historical Center of São Cristóvão, in Sergipe - Brazil. The implementation of this type of research becomes relevant due to the fact the color is inserted in the space physiognomy as a cultural factor, related to historical issues of symbolic associations, although, due to its heterogeneity, is subject to constant changes in their appearance. Therefore, the documentation becomes an important tool for organization and registration of renascent color memory, safeguarding it at the same time can help restoration work that may occur.
