Universal Color Language, Level 3 Color Names This page shows color swatches defined by hexadecimal code and named according to the Universal Color Language UCL described in COLOR Universal Language and Dictionary of Names listed in Links . Specifically, this page shows colors named according to the UCL Level 3, where color descriptions consist of 267 color blocks named by a method devised by the Inter-Society Color Council ISCC and the the United States Department of Commerces National Bureau of Standards NBS now called the National Institute of Standards and Technology . This method is called the ISCC-NBS Method of Designating Colors. The ISCC-NBS Method identifies 267 blocks of colors. Each block is given a color name devised using a set of adjectives and suffixes. Each color block defines a range of colors--not a single color--that have the same name. This range of color in each block is an acknowledged disadvantage, but it is pointed out COLOR, p. 4 that a set of 267 color names is analogous to calendar dates for chronological events. This method is suitable for a variety of scientific and industrial applications COLOR, p. A-13 . The UCL at levels above 3 defines finer divisions of colors with no names, rising to approximately five million divisions in UCL Level 6. COLOR also lists color names from various sources for each UCL Level 3 color block pp. 37-82 and a Dictionary of Color Names which lists thousands of color names and their corresponding UCL Level 3 block s pp. 85-158 . The color blocks of the UCL Level 3 are defined using the Munsell System of color which describes the hue, value, and chroma of colors. I prepared this page using Munsell Renotation Data from the Munsell Color Science Laboratory, Rochester Institute of Technology. This data was converted to hexadecimal using formulas given by Easy RGB, and the colors were named according to COLOR, pp. 16-31. Up to 6 swatches per color name were chosen to repre
