Chrome Sign Vinyl

Despite being a cognate for the ancient Greek word meaning color "chroma," it really isn't right to call chrome a color at all. In fact, if you go searching for it on a color wheel you won't find it at all. Luckily for you, we have it here for all of your chrome sign vinyl needs and if you're looking for a gloss, matte or reflective Chrome sign vinyl, browse our wide selection of great brands of sign films to get just the chrome you're looking for.

Where Is the Color Chrome on the Color Wheel?

Truth be told, as we said above, Chrome doesn't actually have a place on the color wheel although it can be used in conjunction with any of the primary and secondary colors that appear on it. It is achromatic, meaning that it has no hue of its own.

What Are Some Popular Color Pairings with Chrome?

As we've noted above, Chrome really can't be considered a color, so it doesn’t sit opposite a color on the wheel. Use colors that let chrome shine against a simplified background, such as black and white with one bright accent color like red, orange or turquoise. Chrome also works well in color schemes that are based on shades of one color, or with refined palettes of neutrals. Be careful not to use too much chrome or you might come off looking like you're trying to recreate the 60s idea of the space age.

In general, standard blades can be used with most varieties of Sign vinyl although we do recommend a 60 degree blade for reflective and glow-in-the-dark Sign films.
