== Color-scheme proposal ==

=== Note ===
* The original proposal (see below) has been simplified as described in {{tlx|Minor planet color code legend}}, which is as of 2016, not only used to color the section headings in {{tl|Infobox planet}}, but also used to color the background in the [[LOMP|partial minor planet lists]]. 
* The currently most obvious discrepancy is the background color for main-belt asteroids in {{tlf|Infobox planet}}, which still needs to changed from {{legend2|#FFFFC0|border=1px #aaa solid}} to a generic grey such as {{legend2|#e2e2e2|border=1px #aaa solid}}
* The original discussion from September 2015, can be found [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomy/Archive 21#Infobox colors|on WT:AST (archive)]].

=== Description ===

The templates {{tl|Infobox planet}} and {{tl|Infobox comet}} are used in about 3,500 articles on wikipedia ''(see number of transclusions for [https://tools.wmflabs.org/templatecount/index.php?lang=en&namespace=10&name=Infobox+planet#bottom infobox planet] and [https://tools.wmflabs.org/templatecount/index.php?lang=en&namespace=10&name=Infobox+comet infobox comet]).'' Both templates have a parameter that allows to set a background-color for the subheadings (either optional or hard-coded). This is a proposal for a color-scheme applied to these subheadings that corresponds to an object's classification. It's a simple 3-step classification, which neither claims to do justice to more intrinsic cases nor demands the template "infobox planet" to be changed. It's rather harmless and purely optional. I'm also prepared to make the actual changes myself.

=== Revised and currently used scheme (2016) ===
{{Main|Template:Minor planet color code legend}}
{{Minor planet color code legend}}
;Rationale for amended colors:
* MBA's account for 97.5% of all minor planets (presumably also the largest segment among the MP-object articles by far). To use a generic "grey"-background color in {{tl|Infobox planet}} seem most appropriate and will then also loosely correspond to the coloring used in [[LOMP|the partial list]]. A grey color was previously intended for all the randomly colored articles about "Satellites". But this has not been implemented, so there is no conflict in re-assigning a new color (which has not been decided yet). 
* NEOs a Mars-crossers (MCA) had a too similar color, so that is could not be easily distinguished (screen-color configurations do vary alot indeed). MP-object articles of MCA still use the older color-version, while [[LOMP|partial LoMP]] tables have been colored with the revised version.
* Currently all infoboxes in the TNO-segment receive the same color. A distinction between KBOs, SDOs and DDOs is due to their small article number not very helpful (as of 2016, there are only 332 numbered TNOs out of a total of {{frac|1|2}} million numbered MPs). However this may change in the future.
* A distinction for inner, middle and outer MBAs will not be made for the bg-color in {{tl|Infobox planet}}. Instead a generic "grey" will be used (as described above).
* Hexcodes for above colors are:

=== Rules ===
{| class="wikitable" stlye="width: 80%; margin: 0.4em auto;"
|-
| width=45 align=center | '''§1''' ||Basic categories overrule everything else:<br>
:* [[Planet]]s: only the eight planets of the Solar System (no color, as currently the case). Exoplanets are not considered (they use a different template).
:* [[List of possible dwarf planets|Dwarf planets]]: classification is not based on IAU (they are defined by wiki-editors). Colors from the subdivisions are never used, so {{dp|Ceres}} is not colored as a main-belt asteroid.
:* [[Comets]]: [[Near-Earth comet|NEC]]s and [[Extinct comet]], [[Main-belt comet|MBC]]s are all comets. Colors from the subdivisions are never used.
:* [[Natural satellite|Moons]]: everything that does not directly orbit the Sun (includes [[trojan moons]]; [[minor-planet moon]]). Not used for: ''a.)'' binaries with no clear primary–secondary distinction ''b.)'' combined wikipedia articles that also include the primary, and ''c.)'' [[quasi-satellite]].
|-
| width=45 align=center | '''§2''' ||The remaining objects are divided into TNOs and CNOs. Default colors are used if no appropriate subdivision is available (which is identical to the color of a subdivision; so ''TNO=KBO'' and ''CNO=main-belt''). This simplifies things: the color-scheme is a simple thing and not meant for special and rare cases.
|-
| width=45 align=center | '''§3''' || ''There is no third rule''

== Implementation ==

=== Custom colors used in articles ===

A number of articles have their individually given color. These include:

==== Moons ====
* Mars: [[Deimos (moon)]] and [[Phobos (moon)]] 
* Moons of Jupiter (67): [[Callirrhoe (moon)]], [[Iocaste (moon)]], [[Io (moon)]], [[Ganymede (moon)]], [[Europa (moon)]], [[Callisto (moon)]], [[Dia (moon)]], [[Elara (moon)]], [[Lysithea (moon)]], [[Leda (moon)]], [[Themisto (moon)]], [[S/2003 J 12]], [[S/2011 J 1]], [[Jupiter LII]], [[Ananke (moon)]], [[Carme (moon)]], [[S/2011 J 2]], [[Jupiter LI]], [[Pasiphae (moon)]], [[Sinope (moon)]] and [[S/2003 J 2]]
* The moons of Saturn have no color (or no template) except for: [[Fenrir (moon)]], [[Ymir (moon)]], [[Ijiraq (moon)]], [[Pan (moon)]], [[Daphnis (moon)]], and [[Phoebe (moon)]]
* No colors for the moons of Pluto (5), the moons of Haumea (2), the 27 moons of Uranus, and the 14 moons of Neptune.
* Minor-planet moon: [[Romulus (moon)]], [[Remus (moon)]], [[Petit-Prince (moon)]], [[Linus (moon)]]
* TNO-moons – colors: [[Vanth (moon)]], no colors: [[Hiʻiaka (moon)|Hiʻiaka]], [[Namaka (moon)|Namaka]], [[Dysnomia (moon)|Dysnomia]]

==== Minor planets ====
* Named – custom color: <s>[[433 Eros]], [[4 Vesta]] and [[2 Pallas]], [[1719 Jens]], [[1728 Goethe Link]]</s> (resolved)
* Unnamed/Numbered: {{mpl|(145453) 2005 RR|43}}, {{mpl|(420356) 2012 BX|85}}
* Unnumbered – No colors at all: {{mpl|1993 DA|}}, {{mpl|2000 EM|26}}, [[2008 OG19]], {{mpl|2008 TC|3}}, {{mpl|2001 GO|2}}, [[2001 YB5]], {{mpl|2001 AV|43}}, {{mpl|2004 TN|1}}, {{mpl|2007 YV|56}}, {{mpl|2007 UW|1}}, {{mpl|2007 TU|24}}, {{mpl|2015 ER|61}}, {{mpl|2012 DR|30}}, {{mpl|2013 BL|76}}, {{mpl|2014 YB|35}}, {{mpl|2014 OS|393}}, {{mpl|2014 PN|70}}, [[2014 RC]], {{mpl|2006 KZ|39}}, {{mpl|2013 LA|2}}, {{mpl|2014 MT|69}}, [[2009 BD]], {{mpl|2012 KT|42}}, {{mpl|2012 TC|4}}, {{mpl|2012 UE|34}}, {{mpl|2013 AZ|60}}, {{mpl|2013 BL|76}}, {{mpl|2011 GA|}}, {{mpl|2011 KW|48}}, {{mpl|2011 WL|2}}, [[1999 CW8]], [[2008 BT18]]
* SDO – custom color:[[(60621) 2000 FE8]]
