Does anyone have a source for pictures and/or info on the color classes of honey used in shows?

All I have been able to find is this: http://www.ohiohomestead.com/images/honey_colors.jpg
Does anyone know if these are the color classes in honey shows?

the state fair here uses 3, light ,medium,and dark.you have to have 3 one lb glass jars of honey to enter 1 class.they judge on clarity,taste,apearance ect.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Our county fair has classes for white, light amber, amber, and dark amber so I guess maybe it depends on the host of the show.
