Can anyone tell me if there is an RDA-reason why the record in front of me has
a 300 $b that states, illustrations, some of which are colored instead of
illustrations (some colored) or possibly, illustrations (some in color) ?
I don't see anything under 7.15 (or its LCPS) relating to
RDA 7.17.1.3 says If the content of the resource is in colours other than
black and white or shades of grey, record the presence of colour using an
appropriate term. RDA doesn't prescribe the wording, but the second example to
this guideline reads some color. In current practice this
Thanks, Bob. I was worried maybe there was a new prohibition on using parens
in the physical description or something.

Do we use British or American spelling (in this case, it is color v. colour)?

As far as I know, RDA has no specification on that.

Catalog(u)er's choice! RDA does not prescribe one way, and there are
examples with both spellings.

Yes, but most North American catalogers will probably follow the LC Policy
Statement to 7.17.1.3 (April 2012) and use color when creating an original
record. In my opinion copy should be accepted with either spelling.
