Subpart G refers to the O.S.H.A safety standards regarding high visibility and what colors should be used in construction signage. Considering "high vis" as a formal quality in painting, I decided to use highly chromatic pigments that are no longer in use today, such as Minium (red lead), but were commonplace in the Renaissance.
