Talk:Bottle green
Is this page necessary[[edit source]]
How do we know that this color's name is the same as the DWU? I mean to say, is this color actually mentioned by name in the cited sources? If not, then shouldn't this page be deleted? Shambala108 ☎ 23:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've put some thoughts on this issue at Talk:Olive (colour). Ideally we'd need a forum thread, for an issue affecting so many pages, but in the meantime, let's discuss it there for lack of a better place, rather than spread it out over a dozen talk page; the argument is pretty much the same in all cases.

Eighth Doctor bottle green[[edit source]]
I've removed the bulk of the Eighth Doctor content from this page and moved it to green. However The Space Age (novel) does cite it as being bottle green. I don't think this is enough information to suggest that the Doctor's coat as cited in this story is the same one as for instance in the image that was on this page. Or the coat that was in Night of the Doctor (TV story) and all subsequent stories that also use that coat.
I did write for this article:
- He continued to wear this style of bottle green jacket in subsequent travels. (COMIC: The Pictures of Josephine Day [+]Loading...["The Pictures of Josephine Day (comic story)"], The Lost Dimension [+]Loading...["The Lost Dimension (comic story)"], AUDIO: The Lords of Terror [+]Loading...["The Lords of Terror (audio story)"])
And was going to have that on the page, but felt that it was a little too much of a conjectural guess that he doesn't change his coat between Space Age and Night of the Doctor. —Tangerineduel / talk 05:40, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think it's clear that Space Age is describing the Eighth Doctor's TVM coat, and that the "bottle green" descriptor should be held to apply to that — but the Night coat is by most understandings technically a different one, so you're right that that material would be speculative. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 14:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
