I need information related to seperate actions a computer preforms as related to color. ie.,orange book = CD, yellow book = video... the other colors are red, green, blue, violet, brown, gray and black. there may be others. I've seen it on the net but for the life of me I can't find it now. I am writing an informative paper so any information is better than none.
Thanks,
Sara

Sara,
There are two different "rainbow series" that I am aware of as relates to computers:

One relates to CD encoding standards and appears to be the close to what you are talking about -

Orange book - specification covering writable CDs, including CD-Rs
Green book - specification covering CD-I (compact disc - interactive)
Red book - standard for audio CDs
White book - specification covering the video CD format
Yellow book - specification covering CD-ROMs

The other "rainbow series" that I am aware of is the US Department of Defense book series on Computer Security. There are more than 20 books in this series, each with a different color. Take a look at the following website for a listing: http://www.radium.ncsc.mil/tpep/library/rainbow/index.html
