Some standards are not listed.

Some of the standards, such as PC98 and PC2001 are not listed here because I was not able to find enough information about them. Please put information about them here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akinnee (talk • contribs) 17:35, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

adoption of color code

The keyboard and mouse codes were indeed widely accepted by perhiperal vendors as it seems was the monitor code. But in my experiance devices for the paralell port, serial port and USB port rarely followed the code. With audio stuff explicitly designed for PC use followed the code but general purpose audio leads generally didn't (for obvious reasons, one could use such a lead with any of the ports) Plugwash (talk) 03:26, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did the standards stop in 2001?

Could somebody in the know add a couple of sentences of what the follow up standards were after 2001? Or if it was completely discontinued (which sounds bizarre) what the reason was? Son of eugene (talk) 07:02, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate version of table

I took the Pantone color references from PC 98 and converted them to hex codes with rgb.to. Some of the results are quite different than the original table, so I didn't save the edit to the article. Here it is:

Color Function Connector on PC
Mouse and keyboard
   Green 3389C PS/2 mouse / pointing device 6-pin mini-DIN female
  Purple PS/2 keyboard 6-pin mini-DIN female
  Gold 131C Game port / MIDI 15-pin D female
General input/output
  Black USB 1 USB Type A female
  White USB 2.0 USB Type A female
  Sky blue USB 3.0 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Type A female
  Red High-power USB (more than 500 mA current available) USB Type A female
  Grey 424C IEEE 1394 (FireWire) 6-pin FireWire 400
  Burgundy 235C Parallel port 25-pin D female
  Teal or turquoise 322C Serial port 9-pin D male
Video
  Blue 661C Analog monitor 15-pin VGA female
  White Digital monitor DVI female
  Yellow 123C Video out: S-Video 4-pin mini-DIN
  Yellow 123C Video out: Composite video RCA jack
  Black Digital audio/video HDMI female
Audio
  Pink 701C Analog microphone audio input (mono or stereo). 3.5 mm TRS
  Light blue 284C Analog line level audio input. 3.5 mm TRS
  Lime green 577C Analog line level audio output for the main stereo signal (front speakers or headphones). 3.5 mm TRS
  Black Analog line level audio output for the surround speakers (rear speakers). 3.5 mm TRS
  Orange 157C Analog line level audio output for the center speaker and Subwoofer 3.5 mm TRS
  Silver Analog line level audio output for optional surround "side speakers". 3.5 mm TRS

Some of the colors do look closer in hue but they all appear darker on my screen than the real colors. The table is on Page 60 of PC 99, section 3.18.3. Roches (talk) 12:16, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
