Subject:Standard abbreviations for colors From:John Vaughan <vaughanj -at- MINDSPRING -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 30 May 1997 14:34:33 -0400
I am wondering if anyone can tell me what the standard abbreviations for
colors are? For instance, when labeling wires on a diagram, I wish to
abbreviate the colors something like this:
Bl = Blue
Br = Brown
Gr = Gray
Gn = Green
O = Orange
R = Red
W = White
etc...
Or if someone could point me to a resource that would list these sorts of
things, that would of course be even more helpful!
