* //<del>[[Universal Colour Scheme]]</del>// (UCS) - This is the original colour scheme, the first ever designed for the purposes of creating maps of alternate timelines in the map-related threads of AH.com's discussion board. Now discontinued. | |
* //[[Unified Colour Palette]]// (UCP) - This revision had the integral changes of Susanoism, as well as additional territories that have been added. It was eventually absorbed into the TCS.

Now discontinued. | * //[[Thandean Colour Scheme]]// (TCS) - Meant mainly as a major reform of [[offtopic:Thande]]'s original UCS. The [[Thandean Colour Scheme +]] expanded the original TCS, adding new regions. Now discontinued. |
* //<del>[[Thandean Colour Scheme +]]</del>// (TCS+) - "Expansion pack" of TCS, eventually evolved into the RCS. Now discontinued. | * //[[Global Colour Scheme]]// (GCS) - Created as an independent effort at a new derivative of the original UCS. |
* //<del>[[Global Colour Scheme]]</del>// (GCS) - Created as an independent effort at a new derivative of the original UCS. | * //[[Susanoism]]// - Courtesy of [[offtopic:Susano]] et al. Not so much a wholly new colour scheme, as a set of objections to Thande's colouring system, raised by Susano. Now discontinued. |
**[[Revised Colour Scheme]] (RCS)** - Created as a definite version of the TCS+. The RCS is best used for historical maps, but is as well for a good portion of [[alternate history:ATL|allohistorical]] ones on board. | |
* [[resources:revised_colour_scheme#ancient_revised_colour_scheme|The Ancient Revised Colour Scheme]] is a compatible variant of RCS for ancient and medieval maps. | **[[Revised Colour Scheme]] (RCS)** - Created as a definite version of the TCS+.

**[[resources:TACOS Colour Scheme]] (TACOS)** - Collective creation, later revised twice by [[offtopic:oshron]]. Alternative to UCS/RCS, considered best used for radically different timelines. | **[[resources:TACOS Colour Scheme]] (TACOS)** - Collective creation, later revised twice by [[offtopic:oshron]].

| **[[resources:TOASTER Colour Scheme]]** - An all encompassing colour scheme that aimed to cover almost any country, ideology, or region. The project was started by Aquagel8last320, and later continued by XO_mapping. |

**[[resources:"Colour It Whatever You Like"]] (CIWYL)** - Not so much a colour scheme as an anti-colour scheme design philosophy. Also referred to as **"Munroism"**. | **[[resources:"Colour It Whatever You Like"]] (CIWYL)** - Not so much a colour scheme as an anti-colour scheme design philosophy.
