Talk:Independence from Europe

Party Colour
I am concerned about the choice of colour applied to this new party in election/candidate boxes. See example below (taken from London (European Parliament constituency). The colour is identical, if not nigh on identical to that of the UK Independence Party, the Party from which it split. There is currently a legal dispute which remains ongoing. I think it unwise for Wikipedia to use the same/a very similar shade of purple. By all means keep it purple, there are many different shades, for instance the Christian Peoples Alliance have a different shade of purple, perhaps we could pick one somewhere in between the two shades for "An Independence from Europe".

Agreed. I'm not sure any colour is needed. As far as I know, they haven't declared a colour; certainly their registration with the Electoral Commission only records the logo, which has no purple in it. Emeraude (talk) 11:15, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a sensible solution to me and yes you make a valid point about registration with the electoral commission. Either white or grey I suggest, what do you suggest? Owl In The House (talk) 12:33, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Their website is covered in purple banners. Bondegezou (talk) 14:22, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

I would say their shade of purple on their website is softer than that of UKIP. However, there is nothing illegal about using the same colour as a exiting party for example see NF and BNP, who wear the same colour and style rosettes. Normally party colours are based on the colour of their election rosette rather than website or logo. Truenature12 (talk) 16:45, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, given the above discussion, I think it is appropriate to keep this party's colour purple but there does seem to be consensus in favour of having a better differentiated colour from UKIP. Of course whatever legal action is going on has nothing to do with Wikipedia but it would be wise to keep out of it, the best way of doing that is by not applying the same colour. I have taken the bold move of making a slight change to the colour so that the naked eye can distinguish between the two colours of the two parties. This seems to be the best solution all around, AIP gets to keep the colour purple, there's no confusion with UKIP colours and Wikipedia therefore maintains neutrality.
