Talk:Shades of cyan

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: no consensus, so not moved. An identical (or at least massively overlapping) set of articles has been listed for discussion in at least 4 separate locations: Talk:Variations of brown, Talk:Variations of cyan, Talk:Variations of pink, Talk:Variations of gray. Listing the same articles in multiple locations is totally contary to WP:MULTI, and disrupts consensus formation by fragmenting discussion. I am therefore closing all 4 discussions as "no consensus", without prejudice to an immediate renomination of the same set in one location. Guidance on how to do so is available at Requested moves, and I will be happy to help doing that if asked on my talk page. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:50, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Variations of cyan → Shades of cyan – All relevant articles should be unified as per as per discussion.

Most follow currently the "Shades of …" naming scheme anyway, so change the remaining "Variations of …".

 * Support all for consistency, and because "shades" more clearly relates to colors. bd2412  T 17:26, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support all per my comments at Variations of pink. PaleAqua (talk) 10:49, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Note that the lead of most of these articles state tints and shades, and infact links to the artice Tints and shades too. IE, shouldn't these be Tints and shades of brown, etc?  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 20:55, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Aero blue
As part of an initiative to prune entries in List of colors: A–F, List of colors: G–M, and List of colors: N–Z, one entry I reviewed, "Aero blue" is linked to this page. While this page has an entry, the associated "source" is simply the word "sharpie". I tried poking around a bit but I have not found a proper citation for the existence of this color or its attributes. My hope is someone can do some research to find a better link.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  17:20, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Possible removal from list
Entries in List of colors: A–F contained links to this page.

The entries are :


 * Cyan azure
 * Cyan-blue azure
 * Cyan cobalt blue
 * Cyan cornflower blue
 * Deep green-cyan turquoise
 * Desaturated cyan
 * Green-cyan

I don't see any evidence that these colors are discussed in this article and I plan to delete them from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors

If someone decides that these colors should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  15:18, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

AuroMetalSaurus
The color AuroMetalSaurus was recently added to this page in revision by User:Drdpw and cites two websites that both seem to just aggregate color names (Arteqo and Encycolorpedia). It does not appear in any dictionaries (not even Urban Dictionary) and I'm having trouble finding any references to it that make it clear it wasn't just made up by this edit. If the history of this color is known it should be added to the description of that section, which is currently extremely sparse. Otherwise it seems appropriate to remove it from this page.

Orphaned references in Shades of cyan
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Shades of cyan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ISCC-NBS": From Spring green:  From Shades of pink: The ISCC-NBS Dictionary of Color Names is a color dictionary used by stamp collectors to identify the colors of stamps. 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 09:51, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
