Abstract

The Uiiivei-sal Color Language (UCL) has been revised and will be published together with the 7th printing of the Color Names Dictionary.It serves as the means of updating the Dictionary.The UCL brings together all the well known color-order systems and methods of designating color.It interrelates them in six correlated levels of fineness of color designation, each higher level in- dicating a finer division of the color solid.It follows closely' the original requirements for the ISCC-NBS Method of Designating Colore stated in the Color Names Dictionary.They were: a) accurate enough to satisfy a scientist, b) usable enough to satisfy a manufacturer anci c) simple enough to be undei-stood by the average person on the street.The first requirement is satisfied by levels 6 and 5, the second by levels 5, 4 and 3, and the third by levels 3, 2 and L The UCL is being increasingly used by science, education, art and industry.Instructions are included for the application of the UCL at each level.
