Color for Aluminum #46

Closed mwmalinowski closed 10 years ago

mwmalinowski commented 10 years ago

In our data we've been using "Silver" as the color for Aluminum. We should mention that in our Color section. Also worth noting that Aluminum is "Silver" color _unless_ it's anodized (in which case a different color should be mentioned).

Should we indicate that anodized aluminum can come in a variety of colors?

Are there typical colors that are used when anodizing surgical instruments? I could indicate that "...anodized aluminum can be a variety of colors, but for our purposes it will most commonly be...."

Yes. I would suggest you consider placing some kind of emphasis that aluminum will only be other colors if it's anodized (as in Sklarlite lids).

Technically, non-anodized aluminum could have a different color if it were painted (e.g. powder coatings), but I'm not aware of any Sklar products that contain powder coated aluminum.

Added information re: anodized aluminum with emphasis. Revised layout of Colors to show the material first, then what the color is, as this layout seemed more logical given that the material often determines the color.

I dont like the way the Aluminum section looks (despite look at it again and again before comitting) and plan on revisiting the layout again.

Having issues with spacing in the Color section. After multiple (unsuccessful) attempts at trying to correct it, I have saved the changes I was working on and left the spaces for now.
