I understood the terms "These RGB colour formulations" are more about
how they made this color list and the names for each color and color
codes. I'm not sure but probably they made this list under their own
way and not under "standards". In this way, it may not be used to the
detriment of them because of this. Maybe you have another
interpretation.

Best regards.
