I've created more templates for other parties using the existing colour scheme. Some thought could be given to chosing colours closer to those used by the parties, e.g., the National Party used green and white, the Cdn Alliance used green and blue, the Marxist-Leninists use a scarlet red, not gold.

Wow. more and more Wikipedia is becoming the main source for people's information. Before my excel file (which took years to build, and had no purpose) containing all general election results in canadian history, wikipedia did not have a colour for parties like the Progressives or the CCF, but after my file, it seems that the colours I chose have become "THE" colours that are used here. I am honoured :) Pellaken 06:18, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

perhaps we should change the colour of the Union Nationale? currently it matches the federal CPC colour, but it's possible, while inprobable, that a provincial Conservative party could be started, if this happens it would make sence for it to share colours, so I propose we change the UN colours to match with the former PC colours. any thoughts? Pellaken 16:29, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I'd rather you didn't, for two reasons... one, its nice to distinguish between the UN and the Quebec Conservative party (which does use PC colours) which merged into it. Second, I don't want to start shuffling things around so as to make allowances for hypothetical parties. Nobody to my knowledge has come anywhere remotely close to forecasting the arrival of a provincial wing of the CPC in Quebec. -The Tom 05:29, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Tory Colours

I got sick of people trying to link to party coulors that didn't exist, so I made some redirects to the PC colour. Arctic Gnome 19:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

  • The Progressive Canadian Party should have a colour that is different from the Lib-Cons/CPC(historic)/Unionist/Progressive Conservative colour. This would be appropriate because the ProgCanadian Party is not the legal successor to the ProgConservative Party. Is everyone okay with me changing it to something different? Lib-Cons, CPC(h), Unionist, NLC, PCons are all different names for the same party, so it makes sense to use one colour for all of them. Ground Zero | t 19:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
    • P-Canadian should have its own colour, sure. And although Lib-Cons/CPC(hist)/NG are all re-names of the same party, Unionist/NLC and P-Cons were each formed by a merge, so if CPC(new) can have its own colour, maybe they should too. I don't know what colours they used back then, but on the Timeline of Prime Ministers of Canada I used a darker blue for CPC(hist) and a blue-purple for the Unionist. Arctic Gnome 00:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
      • In 1942, the Conservative Party changed its name to "Progressive Conservative Party". It did not merge with the Progressive Party. The notion that these two parties merged is a common misconception -- it seems so obvious, many people assume it is true. See the Conservative Party of Canada (historical) and Progressive Party of Canada articles for more info.
      • Similarly, the Unionst Party was not a merger of the Conservative and Liberal Parties. The Conservative Party changed its name when it welcomed a bunch of Liberal MPs into its ranks, and then changed it later to NLC. The Liberal Party continued as a separate entity. Regards, Ground Zero | t 12:31, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough. So the first six Tories use the same colour and the seventh uses the different one. We now just need a colour for the Prog.-Canadians. Arctic Gnome 16:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • It is obscenely POV for this template to give a different colour to the current CPC than the other Conservative parties, while allowing the Progressive Canadian Party to use the standard Conservative colour. The CPC is legal successor to the previous Conservative parties, while the Progressive Canadians have no objective link.
    I have swapped the colours for the CPC and ProgCans, with the exception of this page, which has been protected for some reason. I request that an admin unprotect the page and/or make the change, to finalize the transition. Thanks.
    --The Invisible Hand 17:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
    • The PC Party disbanded, and its members joined the new CPC. The new CPC is a new legal entity, and should not have the same colour as the PC Party. The Progressive Canadian Party should also have its own colour as - like the new CPC - it is not the legal continuation of the PC Party. instead of having an edit war over the colour, let's resolve the issue here before any further changes are made. Ground Zero | t 17:47, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
      • I agree with Ground Zero. Both the new Conservative Party and the Progressive Canadian party are new legal entities and have to have their own colours. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 18:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
      • Both parties should have separate colours from the old Progressive Conservatives. I would note, however, that while this chart says the Progressive Canadian Party is the same colour as the ProgCons in the "colour name" column, they're not, in fact, the same colour. The actual ProgCan colour template uses a different tone of blue than the one this chart names, so an update of this chart is probably necessary. What's weird is that the actual ProgCan colour seems to be "cornflowerblue", which is the same colour as the CPC, but it doesn't appear to actually be the same shade when you look at them together. Bearcat 18:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
        • This seems to be an artifact of how, after my switching of the CPC and ProgCan colours, Artic gnome only partially reverted it.
          --The Invisible Hand 18:58, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
      • While the existence of a merger could potentially be grounds for a different colour, I see no reason why it must be. Ground Zero's statement that "[the new CPC] is not the legal continuation of the PC Party" is incorrect; the CPC assumed all assets, debts, and legal obligations of both legacy parties (hence why David Orchard sued the CPC over his PC leadership fee).
        The only purely objective and NPOV colour standard that I can see is legal succession, which supports having the CPC the same colour as the other parties. (If someone can think of another objective, non-arbitrary standard, please post it.)
        --The Invisible Hand 18:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
        • The problem is that it's also the legal successor of the Canadian Alliance, which is in turn the legal successor of the Reform Party (which is a different colour in turn from the Alliance). So my question would be why the CPC's relationship to the old PCs should be the sole factor determining its template colour — to me, that would appear to give the CPC's relationship to the PCs special precedence over its relationship to the CA, which would also be an inappropriate POV. Which is why I think both the CPC and the ProgCanadians should be different colours from the PCs. Bearcat 19:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
          • Exactly. There has been a lengthy debate about whether the new Conservative Party is more like the PCs or the CA. By making the new party the same colour as the PCs, Wikipedia would be taking a POV side in that debate. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 20:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
          • Indeed, the CPC is a separate party from both the PCs and CA. It merits a separate colour. CJCurrie 03:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • New CPC is a new party, it needs a new colour. If it taken any old colour it should be of the historical Tory party, not the PCs. Kevlar67 03:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Except that the historical Conservative Party and the Progressive Conservative Party have the same colour because there were one continuous party under two names. The New Conservative Party, as Bearcat points out, is as much Canadian Alliance as Progressive Conservative. It needs a new colour. I suggest:
  1. changing the new Cons Party colour back to cornflowerblue,
  2. changing the Progressive Canadian Party colour to something else to differentiate it (not 9999FF), and
  3. keeping the historical Conservative Party/Progressive Conservative Party as 9999FF. Ground Zero | t 04:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Here is my proposal:

  • cornflowerblue for the new Conservative Party
  • #9999FF for the liberal-COnservatives/historical Conservatives/Unionists/National Government/Progressive Conservatives
  • #3333CC for the Progressive Canadian Party (this is the same colour as the UK Conservative Party (see United Kingdom general election, 2005).

Any comments? or should I just go ahead and do it? Ground Zero | t 17:42, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Are the old and new Conservative colours official ones? If not, I think the UK Conservatives should share a colour with one of the major parties here. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 01:30, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
No colours are "official" to any party, either here or in the UK set. Indeed, I don't know of a party that's enshrined a particular shade in policy anywhere. The Canadian template set does tend to have situations where the coloured blocks are overlaid with text while the UK set doesn't, so its important that major parties be kept on the light side of things. Right now, there's a nice aesthetic balance in the Liberal/Cons(new)/PC/NDP/Green set in terms of overall intensity/luminosity/whatever-that-characteristic-is, and I think they should stay as-is.
The Prog. Cdn. Party, though, can be shifted painlessly into the darker end of things. The initial rationale for #9999FF for the PCs vs cornflower for the new Conservatives was to get more of a red undertone to the PC colour, suggesting quite literally the Red Tory element of that party vs. the "true blue" of the current CPC. My only thought on the subject is that if we wanted to stick to that pattern, maybe a darker indigo for the Prog Cans might be suitable?
 

#6666CC

How about #6666CC? The Tom 02:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

The historical Conservative Party of Canada should not have the same colour as the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. They were not the same legal entity. A prospective middle ground would be as Ground Zero recommended. Making the new Conservative Party of Canada different from every other non-Liberal Party of Canada definitely violates NPOV as the opponents of the Conservative Party of Canada argue that it is not a continuation of the Progressive Conservative Paty of Canada. This definitely violates NPOV. The Conservative Paty of Canada has MPs who sat as Progressive Conservative MPs and it owns the rights to the name Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. Schoeppe 04:37, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

The problem with making the New Conservatives the same colour as the old parties is that it is POV in the other direction: supporting the position that the new party does stem from the old parties. In any case, the way to which you keep reverting makes no sense at all: making Old and New Conservatives the same but Progressive Conservatives different. Surly the new party is not more similar to the party of the 1800s than to the PCs? And by the way, Ground Zero recommended making the new Conservatives a different colour from all of the old Tory parties; exactly what you opposed. He wanted cornflowerblue for the new Conservative Party and 9999FF for the Lib-Cons/hist-Cons/Unionists/NLC/NG/Prog-Cons. What middle ground were you talking about? --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 05:46, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
The problem with making the new CPC the same colour as the old parties is that it hides the fact that the CPC is also the legal continuation of and successor to the Canadian Alliance and the Reform Party, whose template colours are both shades of green. That's why its colour has to be different from any of the historical Conservative parties — it's related to them, certainly, which is why it's still in the blue range, but unlike any of the historical Conservative parties, the current CPC is the result of a merger between the old Conservative lineage and an entirely different political heritage. We are not going to use template colours to promote the fiction that the CPC's relationship to the old Conservatives is more important than its relationship to the Alliance/Reform/Social Credit family tree. Bearcat 11:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
"The historical Conservative Party of Canada should not have the same colour as the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. They were not the same legal entity." This is incorrect. Please read the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada article. This version is supported by other accounts that I have read. The Conservative Party voted to change its name to the PC Party, just as it had previously changed its name from the Liberal Conservative Party and the National Liberal and Conservative Party. It did not dissolve itself or disband, or merge with another party. So the CPC (historical) and the PCParty were one and the same party. The PC Party and CPC (new) are not the same party. The PC Party disbanded, and its members joined with the Cdn Alliance to form a new CPC.
To summarise: one colour for L-PC, CPC(h), NLCP, Unionist, NG and PCParty through to 2003, then a different colour for the party that succeeded the PCParty and Canadian Alliance. Ground Zero | t 13:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow! and questions about a French language version

Wow!!! Amazing work this is! Kudos! Earlier today, I foolishy thought French language templates for Canadian elections already existed. I was making a French language version of the Saint John (electoral district) and had spent a while studiously editing the electoral template boxes, saved, and voila... the French templates don't exist. It looks like none of them do: party colours, votes, percentage, etc. So, I think it's time they get done, even if I'm the only one to use them. The old-school computer I'm using at home is not unicode compliant, so, when making French templates, the accents I want to use don't work rendering the templates pretty useless. No problem, I can do that at work. My question is... if a French language version of this was created, would it be necessary to change the names of the colours from English ones to French ones? Any other advice, tips, suggestions... would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, merci and arigatou in advance.DDD DDD 09:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, templates on the French Wikipedia should all use French language for parti names. (E.g., Modèle:Canadian_politics/party_colours/Vert instead of Template:Canadian_politics/party_colours/Green - except the other parts of the template name should be in French, too.) However, any html code should remain the same (e.g., bgcolor="yellowgreen" remains unchanged). Thanks for taking this work on! —GrantNeufeld 17:38, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Much more work that I thought. You guys obviously worked hard on this. Ah, I ran into a problem today at work when I wanted to work on this... the filter at worked blocked this template. Taking a stab and saying it's because of the Sex party. Hmm. So, I was more lost than I expected to be. A question, I have. What's the difference between Template:Canadian politics/party colours/Liberal and Template:Canadian politics/party colours/Liberal/row and why is this difference/distinction important or necessary? DDD DDD 14:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Coalitions?

What colour should we use for coalition governments? Over at Timeline of Canadian elections we're using a shade of purple, but I'm thinking that we should switch to something that stands out from the party colours a bit more, maybe a shade of grey. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 17:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

ADQ colours

At the moment, the ADQ uses the colour     , which is all but impossible to tell apart from the Progressive Conservatives (    ), and rather similar to the Union Nationale (    ). See List of Quebec general elections for these colours in use together. Given that 1) the ADQ's official colours are red and blue and 2) there are two active and one inactive Quebec parties that are already denoted by blue on WP, I propose using a shade of red for the ADQ. As a starting point, I suggest   cc2222   (which is distinct from the Liberal's     ).

Any thoughts/comments? Tompw (talk) 00:15, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

The ADQ was only switched in the last day or two to that colour (which is admittedly too close to the PCs), having been     lightsteelblue for months and months beforehand. I've reverted, which solves that problem, no? The Tom 07:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I strongly agree with this action - the media outlets and the ADQ themselves used blue on election results map and it seems to be the standard and was here on Wiki for quite some time. - Jord 18:33, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Note that two days after The Tom's reversion, the same user who previously changed the colour to a PC-esque dark blue changed it back again. I've reverted again, and advised the user in question that he needs to discuss the matter here if he still wants a colour change. Bearcat 06:11, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Reform/Alliance and NDP/CCF

It seems with the old Conservatives to Progressive Conservatives we have set a president for not changing party colours for a simple name change. However, we do change colours between the Reform/Alliance change and the NDP/CCF change. The NDP change may be because of the party's new deal with unions, but why does the CA deserve it's own colour? --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 21:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

  • According to the Reform Party article, the Reform Party disbaded when the CA was formed. New party > new colour. It wasn't a simple renaming. Remember that the CA was an attempt to fuse the Reform Party with elements of the PC Party, so I think they wanted to appear as a new party, not just the old party with a new name, hence, new constitution, new leader, etc. Ditto for the CCF. It wasn't just a renaming, but the founding of a New Party. Ground Zero | t 21:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Family Coalition Party of Ontario

Why is the colour of the Family Coalition Party of Ontario moccasin? The logo of the party and the party's website are more puce, like the Christian Heritage Party of Canada. Morgan695 21:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

BC Liberal Party colours

I've raised this issue on the talkpage and maybe a map talkpage re British Columbia general election, 2009 but I might as well bring it up here because I think it needs resolution. The current BC Liberal Party is a totally different beastie than the federal Liberal Party and, though invoking the early BC Liberal legacy is really "a horse of a different colour". It's true that CBC uses "Liberal red" for their maps, the same isn't true of CanWest or CTV in BC; the convention for the right-wing party in BC on such maps has always been blue and part of the reason is to provide an easy-visual contrast vs. NDP orange (or as in Wiki, ochre); the low contrast between ochre and the "coral" colour in use for the BC Liberals doesn't make such maps easy to read except for those of high colour sensitivity. The current BC Liberal Party is an alliance/hodgepodge of ex-Socreds, ex-Reform/Alliance and people who more typically vote Conservative (or formerly Reform) nationally rather than Liberal. This is underscored by the history of the Campbellite Liberals using blue and green on their lawn signs, although I think in this last round they may have used the red-white-and-yellow of their party logo (I wasn't in BC during this election). It may be that the Wilson-era Liberals used red as their colour theme, I can't remember. Now, because of past-era BC Liberal members and governments being in tables alongside Social Credit blue and Tory blue, having another blue might not work; but I think - and strongly assert - that another colour is necessary. The pretense that because it's the same name as the national party it should have the same colour is indeed used by the CBC, but it's not like the Holy Mother Corporation is in touch with BC politics. I'll see if I can find CTV and Global online maps of the election results to demonstrate my point; shades of red or orange in BC have clear leftist connotations, and left is definitely one thing the current BC Liberals are not - and they themselves don't use the colour, except in combination with blue etc....one solution might be to have a different colour for hte modern-era Liberals than for previous-era Liberals (pre-1975, which is when the remaining "rump' in the BC Ledge joined forces with the Socreds.Skookum1 (talk) 21:38, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

If they have a legal affiliation with the federal Liberals than they should use the same colour. If not, we should try to use a colour scheme similar to that used by the party itself. On their website they mostly use blue, so it might be worth switching. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 20:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
This was recently added (not by me) to the BC Liberal article:
Previously affiliated with the Liberal Party of Canada, the British Columbia Liberal Party has been independent of its federal counterpart since the late 1980s[1]
the Cite is a CBC News profile on the party, but there are lots of others for this; in BC it's a self-evident truth but widely fudged in the media/public perspective outside of BC. Like the coalition (1941-1952) they're a unique entity, much as BC Social Credit was very different from the national Social Credit Party, but even so in the BC Liberals' case there is a formal separation from the federal party because so many BC Liberals are Tories, most of them ex-Reform/Alliance, and some that would have een Socreds or, like Campbell, were Socreds (or in his case their civic wing, the Non-Partisan Association - "wing" because not formally affiiliated with the Socreds but in all practiality the same people/faction/power base. Their own lawn signs say "BC Liberals" only and are in blue and red (and not federal Liberal red, either). The psychic moat around the federal party's recent leadership coronation on the very eve of the provincial election was palpable; and Ignatieff did not campaign for them, as he did for hte Liberals in Nova Scotia. Doing so would have crosse unspoken lines, despiet a martin-era rapprochement that's since evaporated (partly in connection with or because of the Basi-Virk case, though Mark Marissen figures in both). I could start a list of all the members and MLAs who are or were Tory or Reform or Socred, but there should be no need for that; the CBC cite will do, you'd get the same from Global or CP or other "reliable" sources (Global is anything but realiable, though not about this). The fgedral Liberals do not dance to the tune of the Fraser Insitute; the provincial Liberals are virtually a creature of the Fraser Institute (including hte Premier's brother, Michael, but the more (in)famous Michale there is Michael Walker. And as already noted, in BC traditionally the media (other than the CBC at least in this last election) do not use red, they use blue, for whatever right-wing party. Some things I've seen have used a barber-stripe blue-and-red for the Coalition, I don't know how that could be done in Wikicode; blue seems t he most obvoius option, and note that it's a different blue than Tory blue just as their red is not federal Liberal red....Skookum1 (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 Done with the red used in the logo. 117Avenue (talk) 00:21, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Ack, you misunderstood; "Liberal Red" doesn't really exist in BC; the media standard for election maps etc in BC (TV and print) for the business party in BC is blue, more of a royal blue than a Tory blue; that would be preferable to red, which has implications of federal-party affiliation (which is associated with Christy Clarks' campaign). Falcon's campaign is Tory-associated; both are Campbell-associated. But Tory Blue and the hue of royal blue used in BC are different. It's why I suggested the barber-stripe, though that's prob not possible; but purple, red mixed with blue ,would be far preferable to red....might go to Liberal heads and all, royal purple etc, but the distinction between BC Liberals and federal Liberals is very marked and, ilke I just said, the Wikipedia use of red (of any huge) for the BC Liberals is a departure from the BC norm.Skookum1 (talk) 20:35, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Progressive Conservative Colour

Should the colours for the various Progressive Conservative Parties, that are not affliated with each other, still be the same as the colour for the former Progressive Conservative Party of Canada? I think the provincial PCs should use a different colour from 2003, which was when the federal party merged with the Canadian Alliance. I don't no if each province should have a different colour or not but they should be different from the former federal party.Jordo72 (talk) 19:57, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I am assuming you are talking about the NL PCs. Do they not use the same shade of blue? 117Avenue (talk) 21:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

All the PC parties use the same colour eventhough there is no affiliation between them, which is not a problem but I just thought the former federal party should be seperate.174.116.120.203 (talk) 22:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

New parties for Ontario general election, 2011

We are going to need to decide on colours for the Canadians' Choice Party, The Only Party, the People's Political Party of Ontario, the Socialist Party of Ontario, the Vegan Environmental Party, the Paramount Canadians Party, the Pauper Party of Ontario, the Northern Ontario Heritage Party, and the Party for Human Rights in Ontario in order to make riding tables for the forthcoming election. Any suggestions? Carolynparrishfan (talk) 18:44, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

  • Someone has already started using "gold" for Socialist Party, as has been used for past parties of that name. For the time-being, I would suggest just using the Independent "gainsboro" for the rest. Chances are pretty good that several of these will run no candidates, or just one or two, and then disappear after the election, so it is not really worth bothering stressing over the colours. You could use "lemonchiffon" for Crazy John Turmel's Pauper Party since that's what we've used for his previous Abolitionist Party of Canada. Ground Zero | t 19:28, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
