Abstract

Schedule of 122 colours for paints for building purposes, selected from a framework of 237 colours in BS 5252.

Document History

Supersedes BS 4800:1989. The colours in the present edition have been selected from BS 5252, which was designed as the means of implementing the aims of colour co-ordination in the building industry, namely: a) to bring colours of building materials and finishes into a systematic relationship. b) to combine economy in the total number of colours used, with sufficient flexibility for meeting design and technical requirements. The original edition, which replaced BS 2660:1972 included 88 colours taken from DD 17:1972. The 1981 edition revised and extended the range to 100 colours (including black and white) selected from BS 5252. The 1989 edition included the same 100 colours, but the paint finish availability was revised. This edition retains the same selection of colours and adds 22 more. Confirmed June 2016.
