Minor cleeanup
I fixed some grammar errors and style inconsistencies.

The original author was not a native anglophone (though with excellent English ability) causing some grammar and usage errors, and a sentence style sometimes not optimal English. (Run-on sentences, several of which I broke up.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rrostrom (talk • contribs) 23:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC).

tricolor
The article states (without reference) that the tests were named for the French tricolor. But later in the article it is disclosed that there were actually 4 tests, the fourth being "Green", and having nothing to do with the tricolor. Perhaps it's true that that was the original ratioanle, but it'd be nice to see some supporting references. Isarig 02:16, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I have removed this statement from the article. I have not come across any reference to the tricolor in my research, and as the contributor cites no source, I'm assuming this was speculation. Oh358chang 11:42, 09 April 2018 (UTC)
