City of Georgetown Develop a color scheme for the entire building that coordinates all the lagade elements. Choose colors for trim, accents, and architectural details that complement the main color on the body of the structure. 11.1 Develop a color scheme for the entire building that coordinates all the fagade ele- ments. • Using the historic color scheme is encour- aged. • Choose a base color that will link elements of the entire building face together. It can tie signs, ornamentation, awnings, and en- trances together. It can also help the building better relate to others on the block. • A single color scheme should be used for the entire exterior so upper and lower floors and subordinate wings of buildings are seen as components of a single structure. • For a newer building in the Overlay Districts, a color scheme that complements the historic character of this district should be used. 11.2 Paint colors should enhance individual building elements while creating a unified, coordinated appearance for the entire struc- ture. • Paint colors and placement should create a cohesive look for the structure. There should be one main color on the body of the building to unify the fagade. • Choose colors for trim, accents, and archi- tectural details that complement the main color on the body of the structure. • Consider the palette of surrounding struc- tures to create a harmonized appearance along the block face. • Background and accent colors should be consistent within separate buildings, where a number of buildings are attached or where unity in theme is desired. page 118 Exhibit D -pg 12 of 18
