Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways/Colours list

message: I'd like to suggest that where there is a template to provide a colour, the explicit value of the colour should not be listed here. Example: I'm suggesting that 
* National Express East Anglia - █ #305E7F ()
should be replaced by 
* National Express East Anglia - █ #
(* National Express East Anglia - █ #)
This will encourage use of the template (and if anyone really needs to know the RGB value, they can open the template.--Dr Greg (talk) 13:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair point.  I've made a few modifications to the page to try and encourage their use (but I've kept the RGB values in anyway).  --RFBailey (talk) 01:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is XC red (and same as Virgin and SWT)? Surely it should be pink/purple/move like its livery, branding and website. Btline (talk) 10:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not the same shade of red. 
* CrossCountry - █ #C80815
compared to 
* South West Trains - █ #FF0000
* Virgin Trains (VWC) - █ #FF0000

message: As part of my ongoing work on the Scottish Railway lines, I have tabulated and created templated for the scottish colours. A clear definition for the HR and GNoSR colours needs to produced. I have adopted the commonest colour used, although there are several colours being used.
Examples of usage in the Historical Route boxes are provided at WP:HSR#Pre-grouping company colours --Stewart (talk) 13:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

message: One colour that I have notices that is missing is a "standard" for British Rail’s Rail Blue. While it isn't of much use in station succession boxes, it would be useful for the title bar of . Is there already an agreed standard somewhere? If not, I would propose #003366 or #336699, or something in between. Iain Bell (talk) 12:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  BR Rail Blue 

message: I really do think the boxs need to be bule after all it's been three years since Southeastern started but we still have yellow in the boxes. I propose LightSteelBule (colour code: B0C4DE) in the boxes which produces this:
This represents Southeastern as all their stations, publications and logos have bule in them.
This is the current version:
Southeastern's branding is not yellow, that was South Eastern Trains it needs to change! Likelife (talk) 21:00, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

message: As East Coast (train operating company) starts on the 14th November, I was wondering if the NXEC colour will stay the same with East Coast or should it be changed.Likelife (talk) 16:45, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

message: has been moved to  and the colour changed. Is it just me or would it not have been better to have retained the old colour and created a new template? Lamberhurst (talk) 21:18, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably; but I think that it's too late to revert now. I have dropped a line at User talk:JaJaWa. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I would like to see the colours here Template:WYM_color added to the list if they can be. Is there a reason not for them to be included? Nathan A RF (talk) 20:33, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Should TfW not be #FF0000 as per their logo, site, trains etc?
Where does orange come into play with their branding.
I have changed it for the time being but feel free to revert if there is some alternate reasoning. SageWater (talk) 10:19, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

message: It looks like someone has duplicated the Piccadilly line colour onto the East London line. Should it not be #F3BA22? Sorry to point it out and not fix it, but I've no idea how to not mess it up! ShoreditchHighStreet (talk) 22:23, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The underlying code that determines colours is fine (if you're interested, it's at Module:Adjacent stations/London Underground), it's just this list that is in error - it went wrong at 22:50, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

text: As to why it was apparently showing Piccadilly blue: it so happens that the default, used when an invalid line name is supplied, is #10069f. Whilst this is the Piccadilly Line colour, it's also the colour of the bar across an Underground station roundel. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:56, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

message: Some of these lines are the same colour. Is this a mistake, or are those the actual line colours? Furness804 (talk) 11:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
