Although the term ‘design praxis’ has been frequently used by design practitioners in relation to everyday practice, there is a lack of empirical works that provide a theoretical framework for understanding the multidimensional notion of this process. Using constructivist grounded theory, this study developed a conceptual model of the Environmental Colour Design Praxis that synthesised perceptual, pragmatic, creative and social domains related to design praxis. The robust conceptualisation of the ECDP with a focus on design thinking and analysis of design experiences within contemporary social environments substantiates its theoretical contribution to understanding of the design praxis phenomena; and reveals opportunities for improvement in environmental colour design.
