| TABLE 3: ALPHABETICAL LIST OF COLOUR TOKENS token colour (day/night ADINF Use yellow mariner's and manufacturer's added information APLRT orange alternate planned route. ARPAT blue-green ARPA target and vector. BKAJ1 black black colour of black-adjust symbol BKAJ2 grey dark grey colour of black-adjust symbol CHBLK black/white general. CHWHT white/white general. CHGRD grey, conspic general. CHGRF grey, faint general. brown CHBRN built-up land areas, etc. CHGRN green general, including buoys. CHRED red general, including buoys. CHYLW yellow general, including buoys. CHMGD magenta, conspic dangers, important magenta chart features. CHMGF magenta, faint less important magenta chart features. CHCOR orange manual chart corrections made by the mariner. CSTLN grey, conspic coastline (high waterline, including wharf and dock faces. CURSR orange cursor, also mariner's EBLs and VRMs. white/black DEPDW area fill colour for deep water, depth greater than the deep contour selected by the mariner. blue DEPMD area fill for medium-deep water, deeper than the Safety Contour. blue DEPMS area fill for medium-shallow water, less than the Safety Contour. blue DEPVS area fill for very shallow water, less than the shallow contour. yellow-green DEPIT area fill for the intertidal zone between the drying line and the high waterline. DEPSC grey, conspic own-ship's Safety Contour, selected by the mariner. DEPCN grey other depth contours DNGHL red danger highlight symbol, applied by the mariner. ISDNG magenta, conspic isolated danger, selected automatically by ECDIS depending on the Safety Contour selected by the mariner. brown LANDA area fill for land that is not built-over. LANDF brown, conspic contrasting brown for land features (buildings, dykes etc) LITRD red light flares and sectors. LITGN green light flares and sectors. LITYW yellow light flares and sectors. NINFO orange navigator's information added to the chart by the mariner. grey NODTA area for which there is no chart information. OUTLW black outline colour to clarify overwritten symbols on water areas. OUTLL brown outline colour to clarify overwritten symbols on land areas. PLRTE red, conspic own-ship's planned route. PSTRK black/white own-ship's past track from primary positioning system. 55 S, Edition 6.0 March 2010 token colour (day/night RADHI Use green, conspic high luminance radar colour for high echo intensity. RADLO green, faint low luminance radar colour for low echo intensity. RESBL blue symbol, line or text colour reserved for AIS and VTS RESGR grey symbol, line or text colour reserved for future applications RES grey symbol, line or text colour reserved for future applications RES grey symbol, line or text colour reserved for future applications RES grey symbol, line or text colour reserved for future applications SCLBR orange, white 1 mile vertical bar to give general impression of display scale. SNDG1 grey soundings deeper than the mariner-selected Safety Depth. SNDG2 black/white dangerous soundings, equal to or less than the Safety Depth. SHIPS black/white own-ship symbol or scaled shape, with velocity vectors. SYTRK grey own-ship's past track from secondary positioning system. TRFCD magenta, conspic important traffic routeing features. TRFCF magenta less important routeing features. TRNSP transparent used in "transparent" area fills ,(e.g. traffic separation zones, to let the background colour show through, say, 75% of the pixels. white/black UIBCK user interface background. UIBDR grey border to separate user interface from ECDIS chart display. UIAFD blue area fill for use on user interface, watercolour. UIAFF brown area fill for use on user interface, land colour. UINFD grey, conspic conspic colour for limited amount of important text. UINFF grey normal colour for user interface text. UINFB blue colour for symbols, lines and text on the user interface UINFG green colour for symbols, lines and text on the user interface UINFR red colour for symbols, lines and text on the user interface UINFM magenta colour for symbols, lines and text on the user interface UINFO orange colour for symbols, lines and text on the user interface NOTES 1. There are 63 colours, plus TRNSP (which is not a colour, making 64 colour tokens. 2. Suffix "D" indicates "dominant, important, hence prominent (e.g. "TRFCD"); Suffix "F" indicates "faint, less important (e.g. "TRFCF"). Suffix "1" indicates non-dangerous, e.g. "SNDG1" is deeper than the Safety Depth Suffix "2" indicates dangerous, e.g. "SNDG2" is equal to or less than the Safety Depth. 3. The nine opaque area fills are underlined. These are the background colours for all other ECDIS information. These are deliberately made light by day to give maximum contrast for foreground colours in bright sun, and dark by night to avoid a large luminant area which would compromise night vision. 4. Note that the user interface background, UIBCK, and the deep water area fill, DEPDW, are the same colour. |
