[DCRB-L] Colored illustrations

[Jane Gillis]

I just had an illustration printed in one color (green) on  bright yellow 
paper.  I took it around to catalogers and various library 
assistants.  *Everyone* said this was "Colored".  With the logo, if all you 
had was the RBMS--just red on white background--would that not be colored.

  "Not Colored", to me, is something that is black, white and/or 
grayscale.   "Colored" has at least one color, other than black, white or 
grayscale.  (I don't know about sepia)
