Template talk:Chulalongkorn University

I'm not sure why the template should be pink. We don't usually paint pages with colours associated with the subject, or do we? Of course, there's Wikipedia:Don't edit war over the colour of templates, but I just plainly don't think that pink colouring fits in with the rest of Wikipedia, and don't see any advantage gained from using the colour. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:47, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I choose Pink color for this template because it is the symbolic color of Chulalongkorn University. If you want to remove template's color, you should remove the color from all university's templates for example

Your comparisons are valid, although I still think the pink is more distracting than others. Heeding the above-linked essay, I'm not going to revert, but I still think it'd be better if someone would come up with a less garish colour. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:46, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at this again, I don't think there is good reason to colourise the template.

(2020) I've removed the colours again, since they failed WCAG 2.0's AA level according to the snook.ca tool, per

MOS:CONTRAST. The colouring has also been removed for two of the above-mentioned templates. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:48, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply
