The relevance of the work is that the study of coloristics of cities and specific streets is a new direction in geographical science, where the information obtained from the research results can be used in various related and overlapping areas and scientific directions: landscape design, urban ecology, historical urban ecology, etc. The assessment of the visual and coloristic component of one of the longest streets of the Old city of Astrakhan is given. To achieve the goals and objectives of the study, the online service GOOGLE-maps was used, using which the visual component of the color scheme of the street was considered from 2012 to the present. The comparison of the description of the color scheme of the facades of buildings on the street on the psychological health of a person was carried out. A detailed analysis of the ratio of colors of street facades and the color composition of two - color street facades in 2012 and 2020 was carried out. There was also a study of changes in the number of colors of building facades in the same years. As a result of research, it was found that when comparing the color component of building facades in 2012 with the color of the present time, it is noticeable that the ratio of dominant colors and the number of facades painted in several colors has changed significantly. The intensity of colors that have a more beneficial effect on a person has increased, therefore, the color of the street has become more favorable.
