Engineer Approved Paint Colors

Q. There a numerous paint colors that are specified for various uses: Brown for waste; skyline blue for primary condensed water; etc. Do you know what color is supposed to be used for natural gas?

A. I am not sure and I would be going back to many years to be totally reliable. I suggest contacting an OSHA or a factory mutual web site, a national brand paint store like Sherwin Williams or Dupont would carry a line of safety colors.

Best regards,
