BS 4800 and BS 381C colour matching charts

British Standards (BS) have colour matching systems to ensure consistent and standardised colours. We use them to match colours when the Aluminium framework for our partitioning systems and skirtings requires a specific colour finish. Framework comes in the stock colours of white, grey and SAA but sometimes a different colour is required. This may be to tie in with a corporate colour scheme or to match the external window frames. The BS colour systems enable partitioning sections to be matched accordingly allowing for a continuation of a colour scheme throughout the office.
Please note: the colours displayed in the chart below are only a guide, the final colour may be slightly different depending on the quality of your monitor/printer. Please refer to a genuine printed colour chart for an accurate colour reference.
