Is there any colour specification for painting floors? ie: pedestrian walkways, traffic routes, operational areas, etc...

Michael,
Was asked to look into this a short while ago and hit similar problems. The only thing I could find were American floor colour standards. I even contacted companies supplying paint & floor markings but to no avail.
Bar the obvious gangway/fire escape markings I think it is as Mitch says, please yourself.

You could use the opportunity to take into DDA into consideration. I've been looking into this area - we have an office which is planning to replace carpets.

A useful link for you on colour contrasting.
