Motivation

This proposed property is for official color(s) of an item, like a sports team, a school, or some other organization where using color (P462) would be confusing or misleading. For example, the official colors of North Carolina (Q1454) are red (Q3142) and blue (Q1088), but North Carolina is not literally colored red and blue. Trivialist (talk) 02:20, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

• Neutral. Why not official symbol (P2238) with color (P462) as a qualifier? - Jmabel (talk) 20:54, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
  • official symbol (P2238) despription "official symbol of administrative entities". Sports teams, schools, or some other organization are not administrative entities. Xaris333 (talk) 23:41, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
    • Though the description for official symbol (P2238) could be broadened to apply to organizations in general. Trivialist (talk) 01:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
      • That is a different discussion. Xaris333 (talk) 16:50, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
        • I'd be much more in favor of broadening official symbol (P2238). After all, administrative entities can have official colors, just like they can have any other sort of official symbols. - Jmabel (talk) 22:13, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

•  Support, team's official colours are often same relevant as e.g. club official emblem. In some schools or organisations official colours may be presented too. --Wolverène (talk) 11:15, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
