Description

This Standard defines 206 reference colours to assist with the specification and matching of colours used in industrial, architectural and decorative areas, with particular emphasis on paints and related materials. It provides an explanatory text with tabulated colour data and practical equivalent colours. A foldout chart that gives a general indication of the range of colours is included with the hard copy but not the electronic version of this document. For colour matching purposes, the individual colour cards incorporated in AS 2700S should be used.

Scope

This Standard presents and specifies reference colours for use in choosing colour schemes in the industrial, architectural and decorative areas and for use in specifying those colours, with particular emphasis on paints and related materials.

This Standard is composed of three forms:

• tabulation;
• folding colour chart; and
• single-coloured reference cards, available as separate cards or in a fandeck (swatch-pack);

of which the first two are combined into one package.

It is intended that the Standard will confirm, replace or add to colour standards currently in use for paints, plastics and related materials at the level of manufacture, retail and consumption, including agencies such as corporate or government bodies, regulatory authorities, builders, architects, decorators, designers and consultants.
