Going a little more outside of the box of course would come a long way with your purpose. Some questions you should ponder are,” What if the person or group I am memorializing has loved red or black? Can I use these colors and incorporate them on the plaque at least?” The answer would be, YES.
Foison metal caters to more or less 45 standard and unique paint colors to choose from for your metal plaque’s background. Moreover, Foison Metal’s professional workforce can match any Pantone Color to fit your precise needs and specifications with these details.

If you wish and prefer to highlight specific shapes or logos on your custom metal plaque, Foison Metal will gladly make this possible and render a multi-colored paint finish on your metal plaque order. Whether you desire to apply the metal finish on the raised embossed areas or if you want the whole metal plaque painted multiple colors, we Foison Metal can accommodate.

Some examples of these are, if you desire a heart or diamond shape on your ordered plaque, we highly discourage you from painting one side pink and the other side in black color.
Some Advice for Choosing a Background Color- Choosing a color can create an overwhelming feeling. This commonly happens when there is a wide selection of more than a few shades of hue to choose from. Several key factors you should consider in choosing colors should be opted, as it guides you and will help you decide with confidence and certainty.
Contrast and Clarity- In circumstances where you aren’t needing a single-colored plaque, always see to it that the metal you are using should contrast against the background enough for your words to be clear.
One example lies in when you prefer a yellow-based-color text on a brass plaque, the resulting contrast and clarity will be pretty low. However, if you replace brass with aluminum, the words will be more clearly visible and readable. This is one reason that tones like dark or earthy colors are picked regularly with all metals since they give the most difference and clarity.
Surroundings- Sometimes a good thing to consider in choosing a metal plaque background color is the surroundings or area of where the plaque will be installed.
Some questions you should ponder are, “Are there specific colors or hues that you would aim for your metal plaque to communicate or convey?” “Does the surface you are mounting the plaque to have a dark color, so you would prefer choosing something more vibrant, brighter or contrasting, that may help the plaque stand out?
After considering these questions, Foison Metal is always open for your requirements and assure you that you are always welcome to send us a photo of a file showing where the metal plaque will be mounted or installed so that our professional workforce can help in advising you with the best options.
