Duets ADA Color Contrast Guide - Catalog - Page 7
Substrates for superior
ADA signage.
A better sign starts with better materials.
ADA wayfinding signage is a vital component to any
architectural sign-making business. Your customers
rely on you not only produce appealing signage that
enhances the interior space of a building, but also
complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act
Accessibilities Guidelines (ADAAG).
Color contrast made simple.
The ADAAG provides guidance on surfaces that
need to contrast visually with their surroundings to
assist the disabled, including those who are visually
impaired. Requirements for ADA wayfinding state
that signs must be non-glare and characters must
contrast with their background.
DuetsTactiles™ by Gemini offers a wide selection of
high-performance substrates designed specifically
for ADA wayfinding appliqué signage.
The chart on the inside of this guide compares all of
the possible color combinations that can be achieved
with DuetsTactiles substrates and appliqué. Choose
the color schemes that are compatible with building
décor, and the color combination that provides a
significant degree of contrast between characters
and background, giving consideration to lighting and
environmental factors.
