Color
Color provides continuity from building to building while serving to enhance the visual character of downtown. The color palette of a building is composed of the main, trim, and accent colors. The colors chosen for awnings, canopies, shutters, and roofs also contribute to the overall color scheme of a building. The overall color scheme of a building or project should reflect a cohesive pattern. These provisions recognize that the review of a bui lding’s color scheme is a balance between an owner’s creativity and individuality, the architectural style of the building, and an overall harmonious vision for downtown. The main color should be the predominant color of the building. The trim color is applied to architectural elements such as windows, doors, columns, etc. The following color standards shall apply:
(1) Color Palette . The selection of colors for new and existing buildings shall be determined from a color palette or equivalent approved by the Town Board of Commissioners and available in the Planning Department.
(2) Color Scheme . The use of a single color on all surfaces shall be prohibited. A two (2) or three (3) color scheme is required to provide visual appeal.
(3) Trim . The trim color shall be a complimentary color to that of the main façade color.
(4) Accent Color . In a three (3) color scheme, the accent color shall be used sparingly to highlight certain architectural elements such as a front door or awning.
(5) Bright Colors . Bright colors shall be used only as accents. Refer to the color palette available in the Planning Department.
(6) Mortar & Caulking . Mortar and caulking colors shall be compatible with the predominant material.
