No there are still 4 subcatagories to the grade A catagory similar to what we have now with the light amber med amber etc. but don't remember what they are. They have names that are I guess more recognizable to the general public so it still has to be graded accordingto color with no bottom end color to the darkest grade as long as it doesn't have off flavors. Same as NH does now. Our Grade B doesn't have a bottom end color unlike I believe VT does have a limit to Grade B even if it doesn't have off flavors which doesn't make much sence to me!!!
