Are there any industry standard color-codes for Quality labels?
Let’s go back in time a bit. During the 80’s, the color coding was rather straight-forward. Calibration legends were in green; “Rejected” used red; and, various inventory and sample labels used black. Over the last ten years, however, these color meanings have eroded. We now sell Calibration labels in 12 different colors. Each month, for example, may have a different color-code for their calibration labels. More and more calibration labels are printed locally, at the users’ own laser or ink jet printers. As such, colors have lost some of their original meanings and “industry standards” (at least regarding colors) are far more flexible.
