Focus on Fabric: When to choose light or dark colors

By: Stephanie Lee, Marketing Manager, Shading Systems

Light or Dark Colors? Both have their benefits:

Light Colors:

• Provide high levels of visible light transmission
• Reflect high percentage of light to help keep out heat
• Preserve levels of natural light, reducing need for artificial lighting

Dark Colors:

• Reduce visible light transmission (glare)
• Improve transparency during daylight hours increasing exterior visibility
• “Meld with the glass” becoming “invisible” from the interior and exterior
