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 white plates.

• Brown, blue, green and burgundy are also popular choices and have good contrast.

• For bright colors, red and orange stand out more than yellow on white plates.

• Grey provides a more subtle text color yet is still legible.
