This page urgently needs an {{infobox color}} adding. Except, ah - there's the rub - just what colour *is* Palatinate? Everyone seems to have a different opinion. My understanding is that the colour derives from an historical sample of some robes, except they're believed to have faded over time. As a consequence, shades of purple worn in the name of 'palatinate' vary wildly all over Durham. As I understand it, though, the actual colour is a lot lighter than the mid, reddish purple often worn in Durham. DWaterson 00:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I propose it does not need an infobox color, as they currently look, since making up some color values would certainly be original research. Notinasnaid 08:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
