  • ENHANCED CONTRAST FACE PLATE SYSTEM, KIT, AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20260085798
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an overlay for a face plate coupled to an electrical device. The overlay includes an overlay body having an opening configured to provide access to the electrical device. The overlay body is configured to be removably coupled to a first portion of the face plate to create a first contrast with a second portion of the face plate. The overlay body can be configured to be removably coupled to an entirety of the face plate where the overlay body can include a first zone and a second zone. The first contrast can be created between a difference in color, lighting, or texture of the first zone and the second zone. The overlay body can be removably coupled to a wall surrounding an outer perimeter of the face plate to create the first contrast with the face plate. The first contrast can be a visual or textural.
