Caihua 彩画 "colour painting" is the traditional Chinese decorative painting used for architecture and one of the most notable and important features of historical Chinese architecture. Caihua served not only as decoration but also protection of the predominantly wooden architecture from various seasonal elements and hid the imperfections of the wood itself.

The use of different colours or paintings would be according to the particular local regional customs, as well as historical periods. The choice of colours and symbology are based on traditional Chinese philosophies like the Five Elements.

One of the most common types is Hexi Caihua 和玺彩画 “Hexi painting” or “Imperial-style decorative painting” which is the royal variation of Caihua. Historically used only on the most important buildings in Chinese palaces.
