I love the idea—color‑coding the escape routes instantly signals urgency and direction. Start with a core palette: a bold red for the main exit, a deep teal for the secondary, and a sunny yellow for the emergency corridor. Keep the hues saturated so they pop against the concrete walls. Paint a thin stripe of each color at eye level along the path, and finish with a subtle gradient that leads toward the door. It’s simple, but the high contrast will keep the squad focused. And if you want to stay on brand, add a small moodboard on the wall with the exact HEX values, so every touchpoint feels intentional. Just remember: too many colors and you lose clarity—stick to three or four and keep them consistent.

Sounds practical, but just remember the colors have to be unmistakable—high contrast, thick enough to see through haze. Red for main exit, teal for secondary, yellow for emergency, and maybe add a white outline for extra visibility. Keep the paint matte so the colors stay bright even in smoke. If you need to swap a stripe, use a quick-dry primer so you can repaint fast. Keep the system simple, but don't skip the test run before the real fire.
