DCRM(B) acknowledges that hand-coloring is not always an item-specific

Hi,
I have a question about color. Is color an attribute at the manifestation
or content level?
In FRBR, Color (Image) is an attribute listed under manifestation. The
explanation is “*Colour is the colour(s), tone(s), etc. (including black

7.17.1.3 goes on to the color aspect of content - with the examples at
7.17.1.3 also reinforcing that the instruction applies to illustrations as
a type
