Coloured Book Protocols
The Coloured Book protocols were a set of computer network protocols used on the SERCnet and Janet X.25 packet-switched academic networks in the United Kingdom between 1980 and 1992. The name originated with each protocol being identified by the colour of the cover of its specification document.
After 1992, Internet protocols were adopted on the Janet network instead; they were operated simultaneously for a while, but X.25 support was phased out entirely by August 1997.

Famous quotes containing the words coloured and/or book:
“The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Those who first introduced compulsory education into American life knew exactly why children should go to school and learn to read: to save their souls.... Consistent with this goal, the first book written and printed for children in America was titled Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes in either England, drawn from the Breasts of both Testaments for their Souls’ Nourishment.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
