We have a Category:Colours on the whole it's fine for primary and secondary colours Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green, Purple/Violet and even stuff like White, Pink, Brown etc.

But it's the ones that seem to veer off into odd specifics without any citation.

For example:

I'm proposing that because colour / its perception has nuances and personal perceptions we should merge and reduce these pages down to colours that are named in a T:VS.

Merging them down will provide I think a better resource of information without veering into personal perception. Also no information will be lost in this process, merely merged and integrated into other existing pages.

For an example where personal perception fails and VS picks up is Aquamarine which states

Grace Holloway wore an aquamarine opera gown. (TV: Doctor Who)

That's not in the TVM's dialogue anywhere. However in the novelisation it describes Grace's dress as:

the tight electric-blue ballgown she was wearing.

I've also written a policy that would be part of our Tardis:Naming conventions, see here for the policy. --Tangerineduel / talk 06:37, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
