[edit] Scope

This WikiProject seeks to improve the color article, the articles about colors themselves (starting with red, yellow, blue, green, black and white, and working our way down), and articles about color vision, color theory, color management, people involved in the history of the understanding of color, and other color-related subjects (for instance, pigments).

[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
