The increase and excessive use of inappropriate and inconsistent colors on computer display images has necessitated the development of standards for their color specification. A description is given of the color standard draft proposal developed for ISO (International Organization for Standardization). The draft includes specifications for color values to ensure color perception and interpretation and an Annex of non-normative guidelines.
