@PensRule11385 Do you have a source for gold being the tertiary color instead of the secondary? The source you linked to lists Gold, Black, White in that order. --Ahecht (TALKPAGE) 16:07, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Now that you mention it, yes. I'll fix that in the sandbox. The line now reads: ["Waterloo Warriors"] = {"000000", "FFFFFF", "FED34C", name3="gold", name1="black", name2="white", cite=""Colour | Brand | University of Waterloo". Retrieved September 25, 2024."}, PensRule11385 (talk) 18:41, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

@PensRule11385 Moving "name3" to the front doesn't actually change anything. If you wanted gold to be the primary color, it would be ["Waterloo Warriors"] = {"FED34C", "000000", "FFFFFF", name1="gold", name2="black", name3="white", cite="{{cite web |title=Colour {{!}} Brand {{!}} University of Waterloo |url=https://uwaterloo.ca/brand/how-express-our-brand/colour#unipalette |accessdate=September 25, 2024}}"} --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahecht I know, however, yellow and white are too close to one another in contrast and can't be arranged in this way if all three are to be used in the college primary template. Additionally, Waterloo uses black as the primary color for their athletic teams, which you can see on the official website link — Preceding unsigned comment added by PensRule11385 (talk • contribs) 19:58, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

@PensRule11385 Okay, but I'm still not seeing a good reason to switch gold to the tertiary color instead of it's current placement as the secondary color. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 18:56, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ahecht It's because Waterloo lists all three (gold, black and white) as school colors. As the text for the templates on wikipedia use the second color, it would need to be either white or black to guard against problems with contrast or colorblindness. However, white does not work as a third color because it will not show up in the templates (the primary/secondary college color borders will not appear) normally, this is not an issue, because when schools list more than two colors as being 'official' the third will not be in the template anyway and white or black is only the default text color. In this case, however, I'm not sure if that's appropriate; Waterloo lists gold, black and white as school colors in that order I don't think that's the order for the athletic teams. The Warriors fight song has a different arrangement (“The Black and White and Gold”) as can be seen on the program's page but I don't know if that's official or just stylistic. Other cases where black takes precedence can also be found such as the 'black and gold pass' and the 'black and gold day' so I'm not sure whether or not the order is vital.

This request has been idle contested for more than a month (and long enough to get bot-archived), with no template editor willing to take action on it, so I'm marking it as declined for lack of consensus. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:22, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Done, except for the Waterloo Warriors change, which was discussed above at #Template-protected edit request on 25 September 2024 without coming to any consensus that the change should be done, so I've left it out. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:27, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
