[DCRB-L] Colored illustrations

I read John's proposal with appropriate amounts of amusement and seriousness. However, I do think we need  a definition of "colored," because otherwise illustrations printed in one color on a tinted paper would be described by some as colored, which I don't think we want. 

What if we were to specify that a colored illustration is one that is printed in at least two different colors of ink? It's easy to understand, and I believe that is the original intent of the clumsy wording. And the RBMS logo would qualify as colored.

This does not consider the case of hand-coloring, however, and I have some issues with WG3 recommendations regarding that, which I will post in due time.
