Ceramic colour standards. Set of ceramic tiles showing the colour standards set by CERAM (British Ceramic Research Association) and the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL). This set of 12 colours, known as series II, was launched in 1983. The colours are (clockwise from top): orange, difference green, deep grey, difference grey, red, green, pale grey, cyan, deep pink, deep blue, and mid grey. At centre is bright yellow. The colours of the standards were chosen to enable a range of measurements, such as instrument linearity, stray light issues, and colour comparisons.
