Colours and materials
Overview
Colour, and the subtleties of shade, are the most effective means at our disposal for distinguishing one object from another. Of the millions of colours available for achieving this differentiation it is important that a palette of only a few is chosen for application to TfL stations in order that finished environments are aesthetically pleasant as well as safe. Moreover, the use of colour is intended to be judicious and preference should be given to the retention and exposing of natural materials wherever possible.
