I'd like to suggest that where there is a template to provide a colour, the explicit value of the colour should not be listed here. Example: I'm suggesting that
should be replaced by
(* [[National Express East Anglia]] - <font color="#{{NXEA colour}}">█</font> #{{tl|NXEA colour}})
This will encourage use of the template (and if anyone really needs to know the RGB value, they can open the template.--Dr Greg (talk) 13:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-03-03T13:03:00.000Z","author":"Dr Greg","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dr_Greg-2008-03-03T13:03:00.000Z-Colours_supplied_by_template","replies":["c-RFBailey-2008-03-06T01:31:00.000Z-Dr_Greg-2008-03-03T13:03:00.000Z"]}}-->
- Fair point. I've made a few modifications to the page to try and encourage their use (but I've kept the RGB values in anyway). --RFBailey (talk) 01:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-03-06T01:31:00.000Z","author":"RFBailey","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-RFBailey-2008-03-06T01:31:00.000Z-Dr_Greg-2008-03-03T13:03:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
Why is XC red (and same as Virgin and SWT)? Surely it should be pink/purple/move like its livery, branding and website.

- It is not the same shade of red.

Ok, they are slightly different (but at a glance.....!). But my main point still stands. Why is not XC pink/move/purple?

As part of my ongoing work on the Scottish Railway lines, I have tabulated and created templated for the scottish colours. A clear definition for the HR and GNoSR colours needs to produced. I have adopted the commonest colour used, although there are several colours being used.
Examples of usage in the Historical Route boxes are provided at WP:HSR#Pre-grouping company colours --Stewart (talk) 13:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-08-04T13:11:00.000Z","author":"Pencefn","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Pencefn-2008-08-04T13:11:00.000Z-Scottish_Colours","replies":[],"displayName":"Stewart"}}-->
One colour that I have notices that is missing is a "standard" for British Rail’s Rail Blue. While it isn't of much use in station succession boxes, it would be useful for the title bar of {{Infobox Train}}. Is there already an agreed standard somewhere? If not, I would propose #003366 or #336699, or something in between.

I really do think the boxs need to be bule after all it's been three years since Southeastern started but we still have yellow in the boxes. I propose LightSteelBule (colour code: B0C4DE) in the boxes which produces this:
This represents Southeastern as all their stations, publications and logos have bule in them.
This is the current version:
Southeastern's branding is not yellow, that was South Eastern Trains it needs to change!

As East Coast (train operating company) starts on the 14th November, I was wondering if the NXEC colour will stay the same with East Coast or should it be changed.Likelife (talk) 16:45, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-12T16:45:00.000Z","author":"Likelife","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Likelife-2009-11-12T16:45:00.000Z-East_Coast","replies":[]}}-->
{{NXEA colour}} has been moved to {{Greater Anglia colour}} and the colour changed. Is it just me or would it not have been better to have retained the old colour and created a new template?

- Probably; but I think that it's too late to revert now.

I would like to see the colours here Template:WYM_color added to the list if they can be. Is there a reason not for them to be included?

Should TfW not be #FF0000 as per their logo, site, trains etc?
Where does orange come into play with their branding.
I have changed it for the time being but feel free to revert if there is some alternate reasoning.

It looks like someone has duplicated the Piccadilly line colour onto the East London line. Should it not be #F3BA22? Sorry to point it out and not fix it, but I've no idea how to not mess it up!

- @ShoreditchHighStreet: The underlying code that determines colours is fine (if you're interested, it's at Module:Adjacent stations/London Underground), it's just this list that is in error - it went wrong at 22:50, 5 October 2022 (UTC) with this edit by Frietjes (talk · contribs) and the fix is easy.
- As to why it was apparently showing Piccadilly blue: it so happens that the default, used when an invalid line name is supplied, is #10069f. Whilst this is the Piccadilly Line colour, it's also the colour of the bar across an Underground station roundel. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:56, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240110185600","author":"Redrose64","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Redrose64-20240110185600-ShoreditchHighStreet-20230109222300","replies":[]}}-->
Some of these lines are the same colour. Is this a mistake, or are those the actual line colours?
