these items need to be coordinated with the
appropriate design discipline.
When this specification is utilized, reference will
be made in applicable guide specifications
clarifying that "color will be as specified in
Section 09915 COLOR SCHEDULE."
Color references indicated after finishes shown in
paragraph COLOR SCHEDULE should include the
manufacturer, pattern name (when applicable), and
color name of the finish (example: Vinyl
Composition Tile: XYZ Co., Pattern Stonegate, Color
Tourmaline #136). The Color Schedule may contain a
reference to another specification section where the
color is designated. (Example: Signage: See
Section 10440 INTERIOR SIGNAGE for color).
When multiple colors of the same material are
specified, add finish color codes and notes within
the color listing to identify location of different
material colors. For instance, Vinyl Composition
Tile (VCT-1): XYZ Co., Pattern Stonegate, Color
Shale #18 shall be located in offices and Vinyl
Composition Tile (VCT-2): XYZ Co., Pattern
Stonegate #39, Color Grey shall be located in
storage rooms. To further clarify location of
finish colors used in floor and wall patterns or
other details, use the finish color code in the
specification and on the drawings as a
cross-reference tool.
When the project is large or the design is
complicated, this section may be used in conjunction
with the Room Finish Schedule Drawing. In this
instance, the designer can use the drawing to
indicate placement, using abbreviations such as C-1
and C-2 (Carpet-1, Carpet-2). The designer must
include a statement on the drawing clarifying that
"color designations shall be as indicated in Section
09915 COLOR SCHEDULE." Section 09915 is then
utilized to specify a manufacturer's reference for
all exterior and interior finishes in the following
manner: Carpet C-1: XYZ Co., pattern Pebbleweave,
color DF506-204 Vienna Woods. The designer should
then include a statement that the placement of
flooring, base, wall, and ceiling finishes shall be
shown on the Room Finish Schedule on the drawings.
This method is desirable since it keeps all
manufacturer's color references in one location.
Do not duplicate information that is specified in
the individual specifications.

The color schedule lists the colors, patterns and textures required for
exterior and interior finishes, including both factory applied and field
applied colors.
