Using distinct colors in electrical and cable wiring has been an essential industry convention and safety feature for over 100 years. Whether you’re producing or ordering colored wires for your operations, Munsell Color Charts ensure your wire colors are within acceptable color tolerances. The charts provide a best match or centroid color found at the middle of all acceptable color deviations. It’s the easiest way to see if the colors you have are within acceptable color tolerances for your specific uses and industries.

These charts are a selection developed for the color coding of wire and cable insulation by Electronic Industries Association (EIA) for use with electronics components (EIA RS359-A). Latest revisions to order are: EIA-359A 1988 and TIA–598-C 2005.
