Some surfaces are critical to highlight and can provide the basis for wayfinding for visually impaired people. Other surfaces need to be blend with the wall so it is ‘hidden’ from the patient - making it less tempting for them to ‘explore’ for example for people suffering from dimentia.

Gradus has created a guide how to evaluate the contrast of Gradus products. With the LRV value - values above 30% will make a visible contrast and values below 10% will blend in. 

You find our LRV guide here - Colour & Contrast.
