4 Letter codes for colours
For the designation of a colour, the following applies:
• for colours listed in Table 1, the designation shall be in accordance with the letter code specified in Table 1;
• for other colours, the letter code applied shall be specified in supporting documentation.
NOTE 1 Annex A shows examples of the colours together with their RGB encoding. As there is no colour matching required or implied, the colours are selected to be unambiguously different.
NOTE 2 The sequence of the colours GREEN and YELLOW in Table 1 has been modified compared to that in the first edition of IEC 60757 in order to be in line with the colour code of the combination GREEN-AND-YELLOW, GNYE. However, since the colour YELLOW is the next colour in the sequence after the colour GREEN, the change of sequence has no impact for designation of combinations of the other colours listed. It is foreseen that the sequence of the colours listed in Table 1 be maintained in future editions of IEC 60757.
5 Application of colour designations
5.1 Multiple colours on the same item
Where an item is coloured with different colours, the colour designation for that item shall be formed by adding the colour codes for the different colours applied in a sequence as they are listed from the top in Table 1.
EXAMPLE An item coloured red and blue is colour designated: RDBU.
The combination of the colours green, GN, and yellow, YE, shall be restricted to those purposes specified in IEC 60445, and those colours shall not be used in any combination other than the combination green-and-yellow, GNYE.
5.2 Alternating colours of the same item
Where different colours are used alternatively for the same item, the colour designation for that item shall be formed by adding the colour codes for the different alternating colours applied in a sequence as they are listed from the top in Table 1, separated by the SOLIDUS sign “I”.
EXAMPLE An LED alternating between the two colours blue and white is colour designated BUIWH.
5.3 Colours on different subitems of an item
Where different subitems of an item are coloured with different colours or colour combinations, the colour designation for the content of the item shall be formed by adding the colour designation of the different subitems separated by the PLUS sign “+“.IEC 60757 pdf download.
