General:
This standard provides color marking for thermoplastic insulatedwire or color marking for thermoplastic jackets on wires andcables. In the case of transparent plastic jackets, the colormarking may be applied to either the underlying insulation or tothe surface of the jacket.
Application: Color marking shall beaccomplished by use of either (1) solid colored insulation, or (2)body color with other colored stripes. It is intended that thesewires be interchangeable by color with textile braid wires. Where,in textile, braids consist of solid colors with tracer threads ofcontrasting colors, this standard recommends that the base coloredstripe (wide stripe) shall be used in lieu of solid colored textilebraids. (See example in par. 3.3).
NOTE: It is further recognized that theapplication of colored stripes to solid colored insulations maygive poor color rendition, especially dark colored stripes on darkcolored insulations, and these combinations are not recommended bythis standard.
