Color Code

Some equipment will be required to be a certain color in order to convey additional information. These mandatory colors must adhere to the following Color Code rules:

1. The color used must be visually similar to the corresponding swatch in this rulebook. It is not required to match the color exactly so long as it does not create confusion during gameplay. Occasional confusion in the chaos of battle should be expected however repeated or egregious incidents will require the color to be replaced with something more appropriate.
2. If there is ever confusion, a color belongs to whichever swatch it most closely resembles. If a color appears to be equally similar to multiple swatches then it should not be used.
3. All Color Coded equipment must also include a corresponding symbol to further assist with identification, especially for those with a vision impairment. The symbol must be at least 1” wide, easily identifiable from 20’ away, and be placed in a conspicuous location on that piece of equipment. For sashes and indicator strips, there should be at least one symbol on each side.
