Illumination Colour Guide

Illumination requests may use a single colour or a combination of colours connected to a recognized date, campaign, cause, or observance. These examples are for general guidance only. Final colours depend on approval, scheduling, lighting capabilities, and technical feasibility.

Some colours are associated with more than one cause or campaign. Applicants should explain the meaning of the requested colour or colour combination in their application.
