rainbow series
<publication> Any of several series of technical manuals distinguished by
cover colour. The original rainbow series was the NCSC security manuals (see
Orange Book, crayola books); the term has also been commonly applied to the
PostScript reference set (see Red Book, Green Book, Blue Book, White Book).
Which books are meant by ""the" rainbow series" unqualified is thus dependent on
one's local technical culture.
