Evening all, I'm planning to use the "Attorney" template from the Signpainters ornaments vol 3. The sign will be saying: Sunny City Mall. Can anyone suggest a color combination for the sign that'll go with the building? Oh by the way, the building itself looks a bit antique...with the colors I mentioned. Go figure. Thanks in advance & have a good one!

I'm far from an expert on colors but off the top of my head I would probally use a combo of greys and burgandy.

A dark blue green (teal) might look pretty hot. depends on the color proportions of the building.

Considering the area that you are from and the flair of the building to be (art deco, or spanish influence), the colors should be vivid and contrasting. I picture a sign with teals and goldleaf against a white background with maybe a border (beveled) perhaps? I think grays could play into it. I think I would stay away from maroons (since they would clash with the pinks. If you use any black, it would only work if it was very, VERY subtle, such as a fine offset pinstripe around a block of color. Deep teal would serve that purpose also.
I don't know, what do you think?

Thanks guys. I'm gonna give all your suggestions a shot. For you guys to have an idea of how I'd fabricate it, check out the "Lots of sandpaper involved" on the protfolio. Hey thanks always!
