editColors in the basketball infoboxes falls to the WP:COLOR, because give not important informations and are a reason for edit wars. --IM-yb (talk) 19:29, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- @IM-yb: The colors in most cases are the official colors of the teams, so they do give vital information. Can you explain what part of COLOR is being violated? An editor edit warring over colors is a good reason to block them, but not a good reason to remove color from the template. ~ RobTalk 01:35, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
OK, it's my mistake about COLOR. Colors gives emphasis in the clubs, but ignore the national teams. In each case, the 3 and 4 colors are not realistic for many european teams. --IM-yb (talk) 10:44, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Baseball free agent color problem
editSince the move to Module:Sports color, Template:Infobox baseball biography uses white text on a light gray background for the team name and stats section headers when the team is listed as "Free agent" or no team is specified. The fix may be as simple as adding "Free agent" to the module with a black secondary font, but I suspect it is more complicated. Can someone fix it? NatureBoyMD (talk) 15:50, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
- NatureBoyMD, should be fixed now. hopefully the change didn't break something else. Frietjes (talk) 14:55, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

A couple of issues with these colours
editWhat is the solution to the following?
- Dark colour makes the sort icon hard to see, e.g. List of Texas Rangers team records#Hitting for the cycle
- Blue text looks like a hyperlink, e.g. the five column headers of List of Los Angeles Dodgers team records#Individual career records
Thanks --Jameboy (talk) 16:22, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- I favor the use of top and bottom borders in team colors rather than background and fonts, similar to the style used by hockey team articles and lists. For example, the headers of the two lists you mentioned might look like these:
Player Date Opponent Jim King May 26, 1964† Boston Red Sox
Career batting records Statistic Player Record Dodgers career Ref Batting average Willie Keeler .352 1893
1899–1902[1]
- Such a style (where white is used as a background color) would make the sort arrows clearly visible. The use of black text keeps headers from looking like links. I know it's subjective, but I think this style looks cleaner than the way many baseball tables (team navboxes especially) combine background, text, and borders. They're too busy and occasionally difficult for one with decent eyesight to make out. I've applied these colors to a few minor league team articles, but have held back on MLB teams, not wanting to rock the boat. NatureBoyMD (talk) 13:42, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- I was part of the consensus to make this change for ice hockey tables, navboxes, and the like, and have advocated for its adoption for baseball-related articles, on the baseball WikiProject discussion page. I believe it is a good way to enable readers to control what text and background colours work best for them, while adding a distinctive character for the team in question. isaacl (talk) 16:33, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Above examples are definitely an improvement, thanks, though I'm confused as to where this leaves the templates if you're hardcoding the RGB hex triplets (not that I'm invested in the templates, my main concern is making the tables clear and legible, whether colour is applied or not and whether templates are used or not). --Jameboy (talk) 17:04, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- If Template:Baseball primary color and Template:Baseball secondary color were modified from applying a background style to only inserting the hex from this module, it could be inserted into the above examples in place of the hardcoded hexes. This would likely require subsequent changes to the way other templates use the primary and secondary color templates. NatureBoyMD (talk) 17:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- Better still would be to use Template:Baseball color, which would look like this for the Texas Rangers example above:
- If Template:Baseball primary color and Template:Baseball secondary color were modified from applying a background style to only inserting the hex from this module, it could be inserted into the above examples in place of the hardcoded hexes.

editThe team formerly known as the West Virginia Power changed their name during the season to the Charleston Dirty Birds, with new colors. Actually, it was almost the end of the season. And it was literally in the middle of a doubleheader, as they announced the new name and logo between the first and second games, debuting the new uniforms for the second game.

Toronto Blue Jays, not Red Jays
editThis edit request to Module:Sports color/baseball has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Once again, @Charlesaaronthompson: has changed the Toronto Blue Jays colors at Module:Sports color/baseball - using spurious references that mention the return of the red maple leaf (10 years ago!) as evidence that red is a "primary" color - have mucked up the template. Red is a minor accent color on the team's uniforms, logo and artwork, yet this edit makes red the dominant color on all Toronto Blue Jays articles that use this template. The edit also makes results in black (or dark blue?) text on a red background, which appears to contravene MOS:COLORS for legibility and accessibility. This constant habit of blindly updating colors without care or consideration is a nuisance, and greater oversight on this user's edits would be a stellar idea. In the interim, the linked edit should be reversed, making all related articles more accurate and legible. Echoedmyron (talk) 14:37, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- Done. The template editor has been asked to come here to discuss. Your "once again" indicates perhaps an ongoing problem? Don't want to see anyone lose their TPE privileges because of controversial edits. Please garner consensus before making future color data edits. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 18:52, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Echoedmyron and Paine Ellsworth: FWIW, I only changed the color codes for the Toronto Blue Jays because I wanted to show that the club's colors included a color other than differing shades of blue. That's what I was trying to accomplish by including red in the color code formatting over at Module:Sports color/baseball. The only reason why I used black text color code formatting on a red background color for the 3rd & 4th colors was to ensure that the color codes were WP:CONTRAST compliant. I know that the team's name is the Toronto Blue Jays, but historically, the club has used red as a color, and when they rebranded in November 2011, they brought back the red color. I only wanted to reflect that over at Module:Sports color/baseball. The other reason why I wanted to include red instead of navy blue was because I hoped to provide contrasting colors other than differing shades of blue. I'm sorry. I should have engaged in a discussion first. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 21:45, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Echoedmyron and Paine Ellsworth: Would either one of you object if I were to change the wiki-code formatting in the |basestyle= for the Toronto Blue Jays over at Module:Sports color/baseball from navy blue to white ? Near as I can tell, the Blue Jays don't really use navy blue as a color in their uniform design. It's apparent that the Blue Jays only use navy blue as a bottom color in the bird head logo. My source for these claims is per BlueJays.com & MLBShop.com. The reason why I'm asking is so that there is sufficient enough WP:CONTRAST between the |titlestyle= & the |basestyle=. I'd love to hear thoughts from either one of you (or both) on this topic. Otherwise, I'll respect the established WP:CONSENSUS and wait until I receive a reply. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 02:29, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Charlesaaronthompson: You raise a fair point, that of the official colors, only royal blue has prominent use, and the remainder - navy, red, white in no particular order - are all used as accents in various places. Of these, I have no objection to employing white as you suggest. Curious what others might say. Echoedmyron (talk) 10:41, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- I happen to like the two-tone blue as it appears. It mimics the top and bottom colors in the bird logo. FWIW, the dark blue is more prevalent than the lighter shade. My only concern with using blue text on white is that readers may mistake this text for a hyperlink. NatureBoyMD (talk) 13:08, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- @NatureBoyMD: Do you have a source that says that the Toronto Blue Jays use dark blue more prevalently than royal blue? If so, where is it? Also, it should not be a problem to use blue text on a white background. I fail to see how readers would mistake the blue text for a hyperlink. Furthermore, the colors as I've proposed are WP:CONTRAST compliant. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 01:37, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- I was referring to the use of dark blue in File:Toronto_Blue_Jays_logo.svg—it looks like there is more dark than light. As to blue on white text, hyperlinks are traditionally blue. As such, the reader may be unable to distinguish between a link and regular text in this format whether or not it is contrast compliant. NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:02, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

- @NatureBoyMD: OK, I see your point. The club does use the double blue (royal blue & navy blue) blue jay bird head as its primary logo, so the club's primary colors should reflect the logo. Red is only included as the color of the maple leaf to signify that the Blue Jays are Canada's only MLB team. My source for this information is the club's 2021 media guide, which is found at MLBStatic.com. An additional source is found at BlueJays.com Since you're opposed to any changes, I'll respect the clearly established WP:CONSENSUS and leave the Toronto Blue Jays color code formatting at Module:Sports color/baseball as is. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 05:27, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- @NatureBoyMD How confident are you that navy blue is the correct secondary color for the Toronto Blue Jays? I question this, per MLB's Facebook page regarding the 2022 power rankings, which shows that the secondary color for the Blue Jays is indeed red. The source for my claim is per Facebook.com/MLB. To prove that it's not WP:OR, if you look at the team logos on the right, and then the team names in the backgrounds to the immediate left of the team logos, you'll notice that red is the background with "Toronto Blue Jays" in white text to the left of the Blue Jays' logo on a royal blue background. However, if you are able to find another source from MLB.com that I haven't already linked to that spells out what the Blue Jays' colors in order are, then I will stand down and accept it. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 04:26, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Respectfully, that power rankings table (I don't think you can use a social media graphic to support any claim here, but could be mistaken) says no such thing. It's an artistic consideration, nothing more. I note that same graphic uses a pale blue for the Chicago White Sox in the table, and the White Sox haven't worn pale blue for over 50 years - and it's not in their team logo either. (The Yankees don't use pale blue either of course.) Are you going to change other entries in the module accordingly? More to the point, let's say that in the team logo red is the second-most present color; it's maybe what, 10 to 20% of the logo? Every time you update the team color module with red in it, it becomes 80-90% of the colors as employed on wikipedia. Which could be an issue with wikipedia's color module system, but a responsible editor doesn't blindly make changes without considering the impact of those changes. Echoedmyron (talk) 10:39, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Charlesaaronthompson: Like Echoedmyron said, if red is actually considered the secondary color by the team itself, making it the secondary color in the module makes it appear more promiently than it does on, say, the team's website ([1]) or in their 2021 media guide ([2]). Excluding their red Canada Day jerseys, when you look at the players' uniforms and equipment, you mostly see blue and white with red as an accent. NatureBoyMD (talk) 13:01, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Echoedmyron and NatureBoyMD: OK, I see both of your viewpoints here. Obviously, a responsible template editor doesn't blindly make changes without engaging in a discussion to reach a WP:CONSENSUS with other interested editors first, and said editor also doesn't blindly make changes without considering the impact of these changes. With that said, now that we've ruled out using red as the Toronto Blue Jays' secondary color, would either one of you still object if the wiki-code color formatting for the Blue Jays over at Module:Sports color/baseball looked like this: " royal blue , white , white , royal blue "? Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 02:11, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- I won't object. I generally disapprove of blue text on a white backgroud for reasons previously mentioned (it looks like a hyperlink). However, a similar style is used across Los Angeles Dodgers templates. NatureBoyMD (talk) 12:44, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

- @NatureBoyMD and Echoedmyron: Actually, the more I think about it, the more I've come to realize that in all actuality, the primary colors for the Toronto Blue Jays are the double royal blue & navy blue . I mean, it actually reflects what the Blue Jays use as their colors to use the double blue colors over at Module:Sports color/baseball. If you look at the MLB Batterman logo on the back of the Blue Jays' primary cap, you'll notice that the colors are royal blue on the left w/the ball & navy blue on the right. My source for this claim is per MLBShop.com. I'm sorry for all this. I'm going to revert back the Blue Jays' colors back to where they were & should be at.

- And while they're at it, can they (finally) update the shade of orange for the Youmiuri Giants to #ed9e21, like I asked above almost a year ago? oknazevad (talk) 14:31, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- While I'm at it, I would also like to request to remove the blue from the colors of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp to change it to all red. RingoSB (talk) 14:51, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Please confirm that all required changes are in Module:Sports color/baseball/sandbox? There seem to be other changes in there, so perhaps may need to resynchronise with the live version and then edit again — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

There should not be a color template for the Hartford Yard Goats or Durham Bulls. These are Minor League Baseball teams and, by consensus, Minor League Baseball teams are not used in baseball biography infoboxes. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 04:25, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- I agree. There are a few other MiLB teams under the "-- Minor League Baseball --" heading. NatureBoyMD (talk) 13:23, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, It would be appreciated if someone could change either the third or fourth color for TSG Hawks as the third and fourth colors have a very low contrast level that makes templates using the color module for that team impossible to read (see the infobox at Tzu-Wei Lin).
Thanks, RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs) 11:06, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:39, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- I can't speak on what would be the most appropriate change to make, I just want it brought to attention that the contrast level between colors three and four is so low as to make text unreadable when the color set is used, say, in infoboxes. TSG Hawks has a 4/3 contrast ratio of 1.31, which is the lowest of any team using four colors at Module:Sports color/baseball.
- Now that I’m looking at the source code, color three for TSG Hawks is #000000, while color four is #01271C. Perhaps one of these needs to be changed to #FFFFFF. –RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs) 21:38, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Adding a spot for the 1968-1971 Washington Senators color scheme under Sports color/baseball
I'm not sure how this should be done, as the color scheme for the Washington Senators 1901-1960 team (ancestor to Minnesota Twins) was identical for the Washington Senators 1961-1971 team (ancestor to Texas Rangers), except for the years of 1968-1971, where the primary color became red, rather than blue. I see the way the module lists the teams and their colors, and the Texas Rangers doesn't have a previous color labeled as Washington Senators.
Unless of course there's an added line for the 1961-1967 color scheme: ["Washington Senators 1961thru1967"] = {"002B5C", "FFFFFF", "CE1141", "FFFFFF"}, , while keeping the original "Washington Senators" unchanged for the 1901-1960 team.
Diff: Add the following under the Texas Rangers: ["Washington Senators 1968thru1971"] = {"C8102E", "FFFFFF", "0C2340", "FFFFFF"},
Maybe add the following under the Texas Rangers: ["Washington Senators 1961thru1967"] = {"002B5C", "FFFFFF", "CE1141", "FFFFFF"},
