AIS phased-out its 'standard' color chart and color coding with the
1969 checklist. Thank goodness it's no longer a requirement!
Currently, you can register irises using RHS, M & P, other
charts, or none at all.
Nuances of color vary with the beholders, soils, cameras, color
separations, etc., and that is why I, and a lot of others, do not use
a color chart when registering an iris.
I have problems trying to picture such color descriptions as
'old roseleaf,' 'capucine buff,' 'rich gold,' etc.
I can picture the color when the description says 'butter yellow' or
'sky blue.'
Guess it's just me, but I am happy with the rules just as they
are.
