Colour code
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A colour code is a system for displaying information by using different colours. Colour codes are often difficult or impossible for blind and colour blind people to understand.
Examples of colour codes:
- Bottled gases
- Electrical wiring
- Electronic colour code
- Web colours for HTML colour codes
- 25-pair colour code
- Fire extinguishers
- Hanky code
- Jumper cables
- Traffic lights
- Navigation lights, sea marks and characteristic lights
- Ribbon colours see: Category:Ribbon symbolism
- U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Advisory System
- Utility colour codes
The Color Code is also the title of a book (References, Joseph et al., 2002) combined with a nutritional practice by the same name in another book publication (Heber, 2001). The Color Code combines food science, medical knowledge and nutritional practices to encourage consumer intake of colourful plant foods for achieving optimal health.
