AS 2700-2011 – Colour Standards for General Purposes
There are 206 reference colours and the chart or guide is used to assist with the specification and matching of colours used in the industrial architectural and decorative areas, with particular emphasis on paints and related materials.
This colour standard has been in use in Australia since 1985, and is extensively referred to in many other Australian Standards.
The colours were sourced from the W3 Schools – Colour Table. The colours have been converted into hexadecimal code and will vary from the actual standard colour.
