The Yellow Book is the standard that defines the format of CD-ROMs. The Yellow Book, created by Sony and Philips, was the first extension of the Red Book. It is named after one of a set of color-bound books that contain the technical specifications for all CD and CD-ROM formats.

The Yellow Book itself is not freely available. However, its content corresponds to the ISO/IEC 10149 and ECMA 130 standards; the latter can be downloaded at
