From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Color \Col"or\, n. [Written also {colour}.] [OF. color, colur,
      colour, F. couleur, L. color; prob. akin to celare to conceal
      (the color taken as that which covers). See {Helmet}.]
      1. A property depending on the relations of light to the eye,
            by which individual and specific differences in the hues
            and tints of objects are apprehended in vision; as, gay
            colors; sad colors, etc.
  
      Note: The sensation of color depends upon a peculiar function
               of the retina or optic nerve, in consequence of which
               rays of light produce different effects according to
               the length of their waves or undulations, waves of a
               certain length producing the sensation of red, shorter
               waves green, and those still shorter blue, etc. White,
               or ordinary, light consists of waves of various lengths
               so blended as to produce no effect of color, and the
               color of objects depends upon their power to absorb or
               reflect a greater or less proportion of the rays which
               fall upon them.
  
      2. Any hue distinguished from white or black.
  
      3. The hue or color characteristic of good health and
            spirits; ruddy complexion.
  
                     Give color to my pale cheek.               --Shak.
  
      4. That which is used to give color; a paint; a pigment; as,
            oil colors or water colors.
  
      5. That which covers or hides the real character of anything;
            semblance; excuse; disguise; appearance.
  
                     They had let down the boat into the sea, under color
                     as though they would have cast anchors out of the
                     foreship.                                          --Acts xxvii.
                                                                              30.
  
                     That he should die is worthy policy; But yet we want
                     a color for his death.                        --Shak.
  
      6. Shade or variety of character; kind; species.
  
                     Boys and women are for the most part cattle of this
                     color.                                                --Shak.
  
      7. A distinguishing badge, as a flag or similar symbol
            (usually in the plural); as, the colors or color of a ship
            or regiment; the colors of a race horse (that is, of the
            cap and jacket worn by the jockey).
  
                     In the United States each regiment of infantry and
                     artillery has two colors, one national and one
                     regimental.                                       --Farrow.
  
      8. (Law) An apparent right; as where the defendant in
            trespass gave to the plaintiff an appearance of title, by
            stating his title specially, thus removing the cause from
            the jury to the court. --Blackstone.
  
      Note: Color is express when it is averred in the pleading,
               and implied when it is implied in the pleading.
  
      {Body color}. See under {Body}.
  
      {Color blindness}, total or partial inability to distinguish
            or recognize colors. See {Daltonism}.
  
      {Complementary color}, one of two colors so related to each
            other that when blended together they produce white light;
            -- so called because each color makes up to the other what
            it lacks to make it white. Artificial or pigment colors,
            when mixed, produce effects differing from those of the
            primary colors, in consequence of partial absorption.
  
      {Of color} (as persons, races, etc.), not of the white race;
            -- commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro
            blood, pure or mixed.
  
      {Primary colors}, those developed from the solar beam by the
            prism, viz., red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and
            violet, which are reduced by some authors to three, --
            red, green, and violet-blue. These three are sometimes
            called {fundamental colors}.
  
      {Subjective} [or] {Accidental color}, a false or spurious
            color seen in some instances, owing to the persistence of
            the luminous impression upon the retina, and a gradual
            change of its character, as where a wheel perfectly white,
            and with a circumference regularly subdivided, is made to
            revolve rapidly over a dark object, the teeth of the wheel
            appear to the eye of different shades of color varying
            with the rapidity of rotation. See {Accidental colors},
            under {Accidental}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   bit slice
  
      A technique for constructing a {processor} from
      modules, each of which processes one {bit-field} or "slice" of
      an {operand}.   Bit slice processors usually consist of an
      {ALU} of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bits and control lines (including
      {carry} or {overflow} signals usually internal to the {CPU}).
      For example, two 4-bit ALUs could be arranged side by side,
      with control lines between them, to form an 8-bit ALU.   A
      {sequencer} executes a program to provide data and control
      signals.
  
      The {AMD Am2901} is an example.
