Basic Information:

Many combinations of azure and vert (blue and green), especially azure on vert and vert on azure, would be considered lowcontrast and would be un-registerable using the Core Style rules. They would have to be registered as an Individually Attested Pattern formerly known as a Regional Style Exception.
