W <br />VI. COLOR SCHEMES AND FAMILIES <br />The colors selected and .recommended for use are based on the following <br />conditions: <br />1) Muted colors are appropriate for large background areas, as opposed to <br />Vibrant shades# because the brighter hues fade rapidly. <br />2) The intensity of heat and sun dictates that light, bright reflective <br />colors should be avoided. The muted medium hues selected absorb <br />light, thereby reducing glare on the street. <br />3) Light and dark accent colors (for awnings, signage, tiles) complement <br />the medium background colors and highlight those colors by adding <br />contrast. <br />The following color choices are inappropriate and should be avoided: <br />1) Dark and primary colors as background colors because of their suscep- <br />tibility to fading. <br />2) Dark and primary colors as accent colors because they do not comple- <br />ment the muted tones desired. <br />(� 3) Bright, light colors which are too 'reflective of heat and glare. <br />Colors which are similar to the color of the sky on overcast hazy <br />days. <br />-11- <br />M= <br />
