ढाँचा:OSM Location map/color/कागजात

Usage

This template provides a standardised colour/Color pallete for use with OSM Location Maps. The following color descriptors (not following any particular external precedent) can be used within OSM maps to provide a consistent and sympathetic color scheme for text labels and shape colors, using pastel shades that fit well alongside the existing map colors:-

Usage by directly calling the template (normally not needed except by another template) requires a single unnamed parameter, which should a colour from the list below, eg

{{OSM Location map/color|soft grey}}

which will generate the appropriate hex value. It will return unchanged any other text, such as a standard html colour description or hex code.

Usage of the color scheme when devising OSM Location maps

The descriptions can be used within the {{OSM Location map}} template wherever a color can be specified (The template itself is not needed). For example:

|label-color1 = soft grey
|shape-color1 = hard red
|label-color8 = black

Map label colors often need to to be adapted to meet the needs of the individual map, but by sticking to the 'soft' colors for most map labels the muted map appearance is retained. The 'hard' colors should only used to indicate the feature that is the particular subject of the map. (The 'dark' option is for where the background requires a shift to the stronger colors).

Under normal usage, the following label color scheme should be followed:-

soft grey	Settlements = soft grey (Subject of the map can be hard grey and larger label-size)
soft blue	Rivers, lakes, sea areas etc = soft blue (Works well on top of OSM blue areas)
soft green	Parkland, national/regional parks, gardens, forests etc = soft green works well on top of OSM green areas. (hard green may be desirable in forests or for the subject of the map)
hard red	Individual sites = hard red - especially if no other labels are applied and the site is indicated by a red pog

Full table of options

Colors recommended for OSM Maps. These have a more pastel shade than the standard colors, so blend well the map backgrounds
soft red #DB3123	hard red #AA1205	dark red #7A0101
soft green #81AF81	hard green #538253	dark green #165916
soft blue #77A1CB	hard blue #5581A9	dark blue #5581A9
soft grey #AAAA88	hard grey #777755	dark grey #333322
soft brown #CCB56C	hard brown #AD7F14	dark brown #8E5913
Standard html colors. These tend to look rather harsh on the OSM maps but are retained for compatibility
White #FFFFFF	Silver #C0C0C0	Gray #808080
Red #FF0000	Maroon #800000	Yellow #FFFF00
Olive #808000	Lime #00FF00	Green #008000
Aqua #00FFFF	Teal #008080	Blue #0000FF
Navy #000080	Fuchsia #FF00FF	Purple #800080
Black #000000

It is also possible to specify any HTML Hex color using the six-figure hex-code, eg #AAAAAA, but sticking to defaults maintains consistency between pages

If no color is specified the text will have a default of 'hard red'

Colors other than the named ones above can only be specified by using hex codes. Any other color names return as 'hard red' #AA1205
