ਫਰਮਾ:OSM Location map/color

Usage
[ਸੋਧੋ]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
[ਸੋਧੋ]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 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 |

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' #222211
