and tolerances described in table 2 approxi-
mate those described in table 1 while allow-
ing for differences in production methods
and materials used to manufacture labels
and placards surfaced with printing inks.
Primarily, the color charts based on table 1
are for label or placard colors applied as
opaque coatings such as paint, enamel or
plastic, whereas color charts based on table
2 are intended for use with labels and plac-
ards surfaced only with inks.
For labels printed directly on packaging
surfaces, table 3 may be used, although com-
pliance with either table 1 or table 2 is suffi-
cient. However, if visual reference indicates
that the colors of labels printed directly on
package surfaces are outside the table 1 or 2
tolerances, a spectrophotometer or other in-
strumentation may be required to insure
compliance with table 3.

Maximum chroma is not limited.
2
For the colors green and purple, the minimum saturation (chroma) limits for porcelain enamel on metal are lower than for
most other surface coatings. Therefore, the minimum chroma limits of these two colors as displayed on the Charts for compari-
son to porcelain enamel on metal is low, as shown for green (grayish B) and purple (gray).
