Signage Guidelines:
Colors and Materials 

 




     


Colors and Materials

Generally, the design of interior spaces can be characterized as either “warm” or “cool” in tone. The color/finish options in the Basic Sign system have been selected to complement most warm or cool interiors, regardless of the specific paint, colors, or finishes used. Specific paint colors and metals will be indicated on this page in the future.

Colors can be used as part of an overall directional sign program, wherein specific colors are associated with specific functions (fig. 1).  In addition, the choice of color or color combination can convey specific moods (fig. 2).

Sign designers can select different colors and finishes for the Basic Plus and Custom sign designs. However, certain ADA message contrast and non-reflective surface requirements must be observed.

To determine sign requirements for state and local codes, contact your local Sign Biz Sign Design Professional.
