COLORS OF LIGHT SIGNALS. OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON ILLUMINATION

This report states the recommendations of the CIE for the colors of light signals in terms of chromaticity limits chosen as a compromise between reliable color recognition, reasonable visual range and practical precision of manufacture. These limits are recommended for international adoption, but national specifications may be adopted with rather narrower limits if desirable to suit national practice. These recommendations refer to warning and color-coded light signals in general.
