Some [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]s have formed a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|project]] to better organize information in articles related to '''[[Color]]s'''. This page and [[Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:WikiProject Color/|its subpages]] contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.  If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]].

==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, [[pigment]]s).

==Goals==
{{User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription}}
# Bring [[Color]] article to [[WP:FA|FA]]
# Organize [[Lists of colors|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
# Keep [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Color/Unreferenced BLPs]] empty

See also a brief overview/to-do list at [[/Strategy]]

==Guiding principles==
Details on these principles can be found at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Color/Principles]]. Notice that these principles were established in 2006, barely discussed, and are currently ignored on many color-related pages.

#Notability and verifiability.
#Use of color disclaimer.
#Color values only if in a standard.
#Strict limits on swatches.
#Pre-vetting of acceptable color sources.
#Excluding proprietary color spaces.
