Talk:BSicon/Colors

BE2D2C

Discussions moved from Talk:BSicon/Icon geometry and SVG code neatness.

Some (somewhat outdated) suggestions at Category talk:Icons for railway descriptions/other colors.

Matters to be adressed concerning colors in our icons are outlined below, with links to their dicussion, when it exists:

• Colors of the main set (track, stations, and a few other items, also interpretable as icon/road/path diagram elements):
  • RGB of the "ex" variant for a given RGB value
  • Semantics of "u", "f", and "g"
  • Merging sets with close colors
  • Naming special use icons
  • Multicolored lines:
    • Semantics of "m" (in Archive 1)
    • Butovo and Bilbao (in Archive 2)
  • Naming special color variants:
    • Space vs. brackets
    • HexRGB value vs. generic name
      • Determining generic name from RGB
• Non track colors:
  • Formations  #80A080 
  • Icons  #000000/black 
    • ENDE special case?
  • Water  #007CC3 
  • CPIC  #000000/black  &  #AAAAAA 
  • S-Bahn roundel  #006E34 
  • Accessibility roundel  #034EA2 
  • DST roundel #FFFFFF/white

Lets discuss each matter under a separate heading, to make it easier to wrap it up. -- Tuválkin ✉ 11:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Template:bsc

I added {{BS-color}} at the top of this page to transclude the handy table shown at Template:BS-color but it just transcludes "BE2D2C". I know what’s going on: The template detects this is a gallery (talk) page and behaves differently to match. But there should be documentation, or else this stuff gets more complicated than it needs to be. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 13:49, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
