The visual display device should be capable of producing a wide variety of colors and color combinations to render graphic images, maps, pictures, diagrams, photographs, and video images with sufficient realism and accuracy to support all required user tasks.
Additional Information: Accurate color rendering is necessary whenever objects or scenes taken from reality are seen on a visual display. Inadequate color rendering can cause misinterpretation or missing recognition of the objects or scenes that are visualized (e.g., the inaccurate color of a chemical solution may mask actual contamination in the solution). The color gamut should be triangular, and the area of the color gamut should be a minimum of 50 percent of the area of a given chromaticity diagram. For visual display devices used for images and videos, the number of colors that can be displayed should be a minimum of 224, or 1,627,716, colors and their combinations.
