The identification of colours is difficult and different people's perceptions of colours can differ from person-to-person.
Pages on specific colours must have a valid 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 valid 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.
