description Retinal drawing with a color-coding system brings uniformity in representation of fundus findings so that clinician can decipher various lesions on a two-dimensional drawing. Existing color coding addresses most of the common retinal pathologies including preretinal, intraretinal, and subretinal lesions. However, with the advent of various imaging modalities there is deeper understanding of microanatomy of retina and associated pathologies. With this, there appears further need of newer set of color coding to include the minute details of fundus findings clinically. Through this article, we discuss few common pathologies at different levels of retina layers with color-coding dilemma which calls for a better preciseness in its clinical representations.
