Appendix – Color Palette

This Appendix contains several series of electronically-scanned color chips. Within each series a number of colors have been marked as appropriate for trim, roofs or for use generally (i.e., all other portions of a structure). These colors tend to harmonize with the natural forest setting, but their use is not mandatory; rather, site-specific decisions should be bases on site-specific analyses, and colors should be chosen to blend with the particular location within which they will be used.

District Rangers who wish to use the colors of this electronic palette should note that because of differences in computer monitors and application software the electronic representations will likely not display accurately. For this reason, the electronic representations should be taken only as rough approximations and hard-copy color sheets and/or chips have been distributed to District offices for reference purposes.

Use this handbook of color chips from manufacturers Benjamin Moore and Pratt & Lambert does not constitute an endorsement by the Forest of those manufacturers.
