  • Urgent..Safety Sign colour advice needed?

    Posted by Martin C on February 11, 2003 at 10:47 pm

    I have to do some safety signs for a building site in Holland. Some are to be White lettering on Blue background but what colour blue? Is there a standard that I should use? (There info signs, wear Hard Hats, Hi Viz..etc.,)

    I also have a ‘DANGER Construction Work in Progress’ to do which is shown as Black lettering on Yellow. Straight forward enough but it appears from the sketch I’ve been given that the Exclamation mark is Yellow out of the black triangle. Can anyone confirm?

    Thanks……..

    Hi martin
    Just made similar signs for demolition company in london, i can give you B.S colours if that helps red = 04E53, yellow =10E55, green = 14E53 &
    blue 18E53. Doro tape converted these to ral colours of their vinyl although the blue had to be 1 shade out . Compared to other screen printed signs by another company and you could not notice any difference. If you email me signsvinyldesign@aol.com i can send you the design i have on disc.
    Hope this helps don’t hesitate to get in touch, new to the sign board so Hi to everyone

    Kevin Signs “vinyl design”

    martin i am not sure on the exact references mate but we do lots for companies up here. quarries and the like..

    the hard hats and boots type sign is cosmos blue and the yellow is a medium yellow.. not sure if that helps any mate! 🙁 😉

    now… what about the yellow on the home page image of my new demo. and the blue is close to mikes butterfly blue… ok ok forget i said that.. im going all tecnical here i know… 😆 😆 😆
    these are close mate but dont take me serious if you have to post them to holland im just messing coz i dont know the referencies like kev does… 😀
