Coronado National Forest – Paint Color Guidelines July 2007

For comments and questions, please contact Debby Kriegel, (520) 388-8427, dkriegel@fs.fed.us

General Guidelines Use the following 2 colors: Federal Standard Color 20059 (brown) and Dunn-Edwards “Adobe” (tan).

Brown (20059) shall be the main paint color. Adobe shall be a minor color.

Paint small facilities entirely 20059 brown. This includes trash bins, food lockers, railings, bulletin boards, bollards, painted picnic tables and benches, fire poster sign frames, etc.

Paint utility structures entirely 20059 brown. This includes storage buildings, water tanks, fences, etc.

Where the backs of signs are painted, use 20059 brown.

When roofs are painted, use 20059 brown.

Use Adobe only when 2 colors are needed to bring public attention to a building or facility. Examples include painted signs, and trim on public buildings (visitor centers, restrooms, entry stations, etc.).

Exceptions to these colors are very rare, but may be necessary at historic sites (such as the Cave Creek

Administrative Site) and where there are major established paint colors themes (such as at Sabino Canyon Visitor Center).

Purchasing Paint There are currently 3 paint companies that can correctly match Brown 20059 and Adobe. Do not buy paint from other companies, and do not ask for “Forest Service Brown”, as these words will not ensure the correct color.
