The building, its style, age, and business use should be considered when choosing color schemes. Choice of a building's paint scheme should be in harmony with the rest of the downtown area's historic character. No building should stand out like a sore thumb.
Architectural details of interest may be highlighted by the blending of contrasting colors, but no more than 3 colors should be used. Window frames and sashes painted black appear to disappear when the area is viewed from a distance, so windows appear to be black holes in the building's façade.
