Colour it IDDSI

One of the components used in the IDDSI framework to identify a particular level is color.  Careful consideration was given to the selection of the colors taking into account the suitability of for people with color blindness and to maximize the difference between neighboring levels.  Certain colors such as red were avoided due to cultural and symbolic use (danger, stop, fire) in many healthcare settings.

IDDSI is pleased to share our color information which includes application for computer and print.  Please find this information in our resources section on the IDDSI website here as "Colour Codes (RGB, CYMK)" under "IDDSI Framework".
