The industrial world functions by adherence to standards. DIN (German Institute for Standardization)
is pretty much the de facto global standards agency. interestingly, the first standard DIN proclaimed (1918)
pertained to machine tool taper pins. Over 30,000 have been issued since.
An american corporation, Pantone, has emerged as the standard setting entity for color.
So what about Pantone 321? If you viewed a video posted several days ago, "turbine lathe, Mulheim" then you were exposed to this color. It is the official hue of german conglomerate --Siemens.
In the circumstance of the video, P-321 is found on console of Siemens 840D control. And it is also seen
in very tall letters proclaiming facility identity as Siemens Power Generation, Mulheim.
Siemens calls the corporate color "petrol" and specifies Pantone 321.
If you are a trendy machine tool builder and want to coordinate your product line with what models on the runways of Paris and Milan are wearing, click below for color of the year.
