touch screen programming standards?
(OP)
Is there any standard that states Start and Stop buttons on a touch screen must be a specific color? For instance, if I have a button labeled cycle or machine stop, does it have to be red?

Here's an excerpt from the FAA DOT Human Factors Design Guide Update (Report Number DOT/FAA/CT-96/01): A Revision to Chapter 8-Computer Human Interface Guidelines
8.6.4.3 Reserved meanings. Color coding shall conform to the following reserved meanings consistent with conventional associations for particular colors:
a. Red shall indicate conditions such as no-go, error, failure, or malfunction.
b. Flashing red shall be used only to indicate emergency conditions requiring immediate user action to avert personnel injury or equipment damage.
c. Yellow shall indicate marginal conditions, alert users to situations where caution or rechecking is necessary, or notify users of an unexpected delay.
d. Green shall indicate that a monitored process or unit of equipment is within tolerance, that a condition is satisfactory, or that it is all right to proceed with an operation or transaction.
e. White shall indicate alternative functions or system conditions that do not have operability or safety implications.
f. Blue shall be used only as an advisory color. [Source: MILHDBK-761A, 5.3.1.6.4.b]
Discussion. The use of colors to indicate conventional meanings is also dependent on the color appearing against an appropriately contrasting background. For instance, white or light gray is appropriate for black text. [Source: MIL-HDBK-761A, 5.3.1.6.4.b]
