Scope:
- To collect information on new material standards for color and
appearance measurement, their suppliers, and their characteristics.
- To collect recent references to the literature of measurement, calibration,
and standardization of color and appearance instrumentation for revision
and modernization of the literature citations of ISCC Technical Report
TR 89-1.
- To collect new terms for the glossary, and to check acccuracy
of current terms by comparing with authoritative terminology sources
such as ASTM E-284 and CIE Publication 17.4.
- To revise the current text
of TR 89-1 to be complete and up-to-date with modern practice.

Purpose:
The ISCC Comparative List of Color Terms was first published in
1949, but the supply has been exhausted. While many terms are still useful
and have not changed, the usage of others has evolved, and new terms have
come into common appeared and should be added. Therefore, there is a need
to update the orginial publication. The original publication is available
now as a 9.1MB PDF.
|
Scope:
- To review the terms included in the
original comparative list for
current accuracy and appropriateness.
- To solicit member bodies for new terms to be added.
- To compare and contrast definitions and usage of terms in various
disciplines and from other dictionaries or lists of color terms,
identifying the source(s) of definitions(s) of each term.
|
Objective:
To publish as an approved ISCC publication, the ISCC Comparative
List of Color Terms II by 2003.
|
|
The project committee was approved by the ISCC Board of Directors in
February 2000.

Purpose:
To enhance the ISCC's website so as to promote the ISCC's role as a
nexus for color information exchange. Other websites exist that are
excellent sources of color information, and hence web-linking resources to the
ISCC. Such links would be the subject of ISCC deliberation, and would fall in
a category separate from the current member links.
|
Scope:
- To develop a list of criteria that will be used to select a website
for annotation/citation.
- To provide a first selection of websites for citation according to the
criteria.
- To organise the selection into an annotated list for incorporation on the
ISCC website.
- To provide rules for updating the resulting Annotated "Webliography".
- To transition the effort to a standing committee that will review and
update the webliography periodically.
|
Objective:
To publish as an approved ISCC office document the list of criteria
and the rules for updating the webliography, and to post an initial
webliography, by 2002.

The project committee was approved by the ISCC Board of Directors in February
2000.

Purpose:
There is a need to revise and republish the work of Project Committee #26.
This work was completed in 1964 and was published in Color Engineering,
November-December, 1965, page 26. This publication named twenty-two colors
that were said to be maximally different from each other. In the light of
modern developments in color measurement and specification as well as
expansion of the producible surface color gamut, these colors are no longer
thought to be the optimal set of colors of highest contrast to each other. |
The Committee will:
- Select an appropriate number of colors of maximum contrast to be published.
- Select the colors to be published taking into account both surface color and applications
where color is generated electronically.
- Publish one or more color cards representing the colors with supporting
data in several notations.
- Complete the project by spring of 2002.
