CHOOSING PAINT FILL COLOR TIPS

• For the best legibility, choose a color with the highest contrast to your switchplate color.

• For more subtle text, choose a color similar to the switchplate color.

• Choosing the same paint fill color as the switchplate color is not recommended. The text will not be very legible.

• Black paint fill is the most common choice on grey swithplates.

• Brown, blue, green and burgundy work well on grey plates and are legible.

• Grey, almond and white are not recommended for grey plates (for light colored plates, always choose a color darker than the plate)

• Red and orange look better than yellow on grey plates.
