The ISCC-NBS Method of Designating Colors and a Dictionary of Color Names

by Kenneth Kelly, Deane B. Judd

"The purpose of this dictionary is to assist the scientist, businessman, and layman to understand the different color vocabularies used in the many fields of art, science, and industry. Some of these vocabularies are very similar, in fact they borrow from one another, while others are nearly or complete unintelligible to workers in another field. The dictionary will serve not only as a record of the meanings of the 7,500 individual color names listed but it will also enable anyone to translate from one color vocabulary to another."
