ABSTRACT
Introduction As colour is an important factor in the description of paints, wood stains and varnishes, the key elements of the British Standards, Natural Color System®©, RAL
and Pantone systems and the Colour Palette Notation are described, although other colour systems including Munsell are also used within the construction industry. Colour is a key feature of architectural design, as illustrated in Fig. 15.1 by the vivid spectrum colour sequence in Barajas Airport, Madrid, by Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners, and Estudio Lamela.
