Colors schemes are useful for graphically illustrating categories of spaces.
For example, you can create a color scheme by room name, area, occupancy, or department. If you want to color rooms in a floor plan by department, set the Department parameter value for each room to the necessary value, and then create a color scheme based on the values of the Department parameter. You can then add a color fill legend to identify the department that each color represents.

You can apply color schemes based on any parameter value for the following:
- rooms
- areas
To use color schemes, you must have rooms or areas defined in the project.
You specify parameter values on the Properties palette.
Examples
The following image shows a plan view with a color scheme that uses a specific value defined for each room (for example, Office and Storage as values of the room’s Department parameter).
The next image shows a plan view with a color scheme applied by a range of values (in this example, square footage).
