Co‐ordination of building colours

Experience in the use of BS 2660 ‘Colours for building and decorative paints’ as a master range for co‐ordinating the colours of building materials, including those with patterned or textured surfaces, showed that its colours were too few and that its framework failed to ensure consistent relationships. A new range based on the attributes hue, greyness and weight, instead of the hue, value and chroma of the Munsell system, is published in DD17:1972 ‘Basic range for the co‐ordination of colours for building purposes’.
