Wikipedia:WikiProject Color
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Colors. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Scope
This WikiProject seeks to start small(ish) by focusing on the colors themselves and the article for color. We will then set our sights big and try to tackle the other color-related articles!
[edit] Goals
- Bring Color article to FA
- Organize colors into "major color" categories with fully fleshed out (no pun intended) articles
- Discover and improve all color-related articles (Category:Color, Web colors, X11 color names)
- Unify the presentation of all color articles and, where possible, all color-related articles
- Assist other projects with color advice as needed

- A change to the format has been proposed to allow for a link to an explanatory article. For information on this, please see the talk page and the more recent Infobox Suggestion
