Standard Environmental Color Chart

BLM, in collaboration with the paint industry and other governmental agencies, has developed a chart of standard environmental colors that best represent the typical colors found in western landscapes. The colors shown here are close representations; however, due to variations in hardware and software capabilities, they may not be accurate and should not be used for actual color selection. A paper copy of the chart can be obtained from:

State Landscape Architect
Bureau of Land Management
5353 Yellowstone Road
P.O. Box 1828
Cheyenne, WY 82003
(307) 775-6232

Other resources that are helpful in selecting project colors are the Munsell color charts for soil and plant tissues.
