The identification of colours is difficult and different people's perceptions of colours can vary widely.

Pages on specific colours must have a covered source, with the addition that it must be mentioned in dialogue if a visual or audio medium or in text if a text-based or comic-based medium.

If a new page is being created for a colour it cannot utilise a real world source or your own perception, it must be mentioned in a covered source.

Check the Category:Colours and its sub-categories before creating a colour page.

Conjecture

In some rare cases, colours or hues may not be easily categorised as one specific colour; in these situations the conjecture reasoning is employed. If it improves information availability and accurate coverage of the subject then we can draw from a script, deleted scene or other real-world material which is not, itself, a valid source.

This is not to be used as reasoning to create a colour page, merely to assist in placing where the information should go on existing pages.
