COLOR SCHEMES AND FAMILIES <br /> <br />The colors selected and recommended to use are based on the following conditions: <br /> <br />Muted colors are appropriate for large background areas, as opposed to <br />vibrant shades, because the brighter hues fade rapidly. <br /> <br />The intensity of heat and sun dictates that light, bright reflective colors <br />should be avoided. The muted medium hues selected absorb light, thereby <br />reducing glare on the street. <br /> <br />Light and dark accent colors (for awnings, signage, tiles) complement the <br />medium background colors and highlight those colors by adding contrast. <br /> <br />The following color choices are inappropriate and should be avoided: <br /> <br />1. Dark and primary colors as background colors because of their susceptibi- <br /> lity to fading. <br /> <br />2. Dark and primary colors as accent colors because they do not complement <br /> the muted tones desired. <br /> <br />3. Bright, light colors which are too reflective of heat and glare. Colors <br /> which are similar to the color of the sky on overcast, hazy days. <br /> <br />- 40 - <br /> <br /> <br />
