The Great Ilkhanid Shahnameh, with the influence of Mongol, Chinese, and Central Asian arts, presented remarkable innovations in composition, design, and the use of color. This historical and artistic background gives special importance to the study of color in the illustrations of this Shahnameh, because color in these works not only has a decorative aspect, but also carries emotional, symbolic, and semantic messages. The purpose of this research is the analysis of color in three selected illustrations from the Great Ilkhanid Shahnameh, including “Alexander and the Talking Tree”, “Alexander Builds the Iron Wall”, and “Alexander Enthroned”, based on Johannes Itten’s theory and the recognition of the effect of colors on visual experience and the viewer’s feelings. Considering the aim of the research, this question is raised: how is the analysis and study of the application of color in the Great Ilkhanid Shahnameh according to Itten’s color theory?The samples were selected purposefully and based on the criteria of subject (the theme of battle and wisdom), the preserved quality of the colors, and access to reliable versions. Access to the samples was provided through domestic libraries and museums, and the analysis of colors was carried out based on color contrasts, color temperature, and their psychological effects. The results show that in the illustration “Alexander and the Talking Tree”, cold and mysterious colors create a sense of thought, contemplation, and introspection; in the illustration “Alexander Builds the Iron Wall”, warm and dynamic colors convey a sense of energy, movement, and collective will; and in the illustration “Alexander Enthroned”, the combination of royal and balanced colors evokes magnificence, peace, and dignity. These findings emphasize that colors in the Ilkhanid illustrations not only have a decorative role, but also are a powerful tool for narration and creating a unique visual experience
