                                                  Editor’s Note— Residential buildings should be
                                                  predominantly finished in colours and materials
                                                  that blend well with the colours and hues of the
                                                  surrounding vegetation and landscape without
                                                  causing glare or reflection.
                                                  For agricultural buildings, colours and textures
                                                  that blend with the natural setting are preferred
                                                  however if not practical, buildings should at least
                                                  be well maintained and/or visually screened.
