Colour and Contrast in Building Design - Disability Discrimination and sight impairment



Just suppose the Building Inspector fails your new building because the walls are not painted with suitably contrasting colours?
Can it happen?

Jersey now has anti-Discrimination legislation that includes Disability - so building users with sight impairment have to be considered when colour schemes are planned.

This presentation for the AJA (Association of Jersey Architects) by AkzoNobel - the Dulux group of companies - was given at the Town Hall, St Helier, Jersey on 24 April 2019.

As the video shows there are various design methods to be used to ensure that buildings are accessible to all and there is help available through Normans Ltd in Jersey and lots of on-line technical gizmos to help....


Watch the video below and discover colour....
