per WP:DEVIATIONS, I disagree with the addition of excessive branded colouring to this template. there is no reason for this to be the only template in Category:Operating system templates using a non-default colour.

Do the other OSes even have a colour? I would think if you did Silver for MacOS, it would largely disappear due to Wikipedia's default colours. And Windows nowadays looks like a Rubik's Cube on acid with a mis-mash of colours.

I agree that no additional colors should be applied. There's simply no point in doing that, no important additional information is conveyed that way. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 01:00, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-11-30T01:00:00.000Z","author":"Dsimic","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Dsimic-2014-11-30T01:00:00.000Z-CaribDigita-2014-11-26T12:19:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
