"Color in homes, in offices, in industrial plants, in stores, restaurants, hotels, color everywhere! Color is the key word. An understanding of the physical, esthetic, psychological and functional aspects of color is needed. Color can ease eyestrain, lessen fatigue, increase work capacity, and lower accident rate.

All types of buildings color schemes may be judged not only in terms of appearance but also in terms of actual results.
