n. Any of several series of technical manuals distinguished by cover color.
The original rainbow series was the NCSC security manuals (see Orange Book
). These are now available via the web. the term has also been commonly
applied to the PostScript reference set. Which books are meant by the
rainbow series unqualified is thus dependent on one's local technical
culture.
