Color CombinationsWhen deciding on letter colors consider which direction the sign will face. Shadows from building elements and the letters/raceways themselves can dramatically affect the daytime readability of a channel letter sign. For signs facing East, South or West consider using a backplate in a contrasting color to break the effects of shadows. The human eye does not discern dark blues, greens, violets, etc. These colors are "fuzzy" from a distance, making them poor marketing choices for a sign, even though they are great for a letterhead, unless you are using LetterLites™ or PinLights™ LED first-surface lighted faces. Then you will have striking signs different from all your competition. Otherwise, light-colored lettering on dark backgrounds appear larger and are easier to read. Letter "Return" Colors
The side (“return”) should never be the same color as the face unless the letters are VERY large. The same color makes the letters very hard to read. Usually a color close to the wall or backplate color works well. When we design signs for you we consider all of the variables. 32,807 painted colors are available. See "PMS Colors" below. Jewelite Trim-cap Colors
Twenty "factory" colors and 32,807 painted colors are available. Factory colors are: Black, Blue (Solid, Intense Blue, Brown, Bronze, 313 Bronze, Brushed Chrome, Chrome, Gold, Burgundy, Hi Green, Green (Solid), Hunter Green, Ivory, Metallic Silver, Orange, Teal, True Red, White, and Yellow. Acrylic Colors
Sometimes we use clear faces so that internal neon is visible. These are often called "Open Channel" letters. Clear faces are important in these instances so that birds do not nest in the letters. Twenty-three "factory" colors, and 32,807 translucently painted colors are available. Factory colors are: 015 White, 048 White, Ivory, 202 Red, 205 Red, 207 Red, 209 Red, 211 Red, 218 Red, 278 Red, 406 Yellow, 407 Yelllow, 424 Yellow, Rust, Orange, Brown, 507 Green, 5127 Green, 605 Blue, 606 Blue, 607 Blue, 613 Blue, and 693 Blue.
