As a point-of-departure for the visual design , separate colours were assigned to different floors . While the background palette remained neutral in tones of grey , black and white across all floors , it served to offset the vivid colour swatches , carefully orchestrated in key positions on all floors , and to highlight the particular floor ’ s layout .
