International Color Guide

I came across Xerox’s International Color Guide while reading through the items on my feed reader this evening. Because Ubuntu is developed for an international audience, I thought this color guide might be interesting to some of the artwork and desktop-UI folks in the Ubuntu community.

The guide also includes a link to a “color quiz” where you can get an idea of how well you know the meaning of colors in the U.S.  Unfortunately, I only got a little more than half of the answers correct.  : (

Thanks to Rhonda Bracey of the Cybertext Newsletter for sharing this on her own blog.

    Everyone should get 100% on that color quiz, considering that the answers show in the browser status bar when you mouse over them… Quiz fail.

    @Tony… I didn’t notice that. That’s pretty funny. :)
