GUIDELINES
FOR USAGE

Help

Indicates the possible color, grayscale, or black and white color schemes or combinations for a media item.

If the media item is primarily color, grayscale, or black and white, then use one of these three simple terms from the picklist.

If the media item has a primary color scheme, but includes significant embedded sequences of another color set, then a color combination from the picklist can be used to show the primary and secondary color schemes

The descriptor formatColors is not intended to measure or identify specific color metrics of pixels in a static image or moving image, but describes the media item in a more generalized way in order to inform consumers what to expect during media delivery and/or playback.

Best practice is to select from a picklist of values.
