 ==== Master List of Existing Colour Schemes ====
-The colour schemes are listed according their evolution and proximity. The ones that are currently obsolete are written in italics.
+**<del>//[[Universal Colour Scheme]]//</del> (UCS) and derivatives -- Discontinued** 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.
+  * //[[Global Colour Scheme]]// (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.
-**//[[Universal Colour Scheme]]// (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. Spawned the following three revisions/updates/derivatives:
+**[[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.
-  * a.) //[[Thandean Colour Scheme]]// (TCS) - Meant mainly as a major reform of [[offtopic:Thande]]'s original UCS. Now discontinued.
+  * [[resources:revised_colour_scheme#ancient_revised_colour_scheme|The Ancient Revised Colour Scheme]] (aRCS) is a compatible variant of RCS for ancient and medieval maps.
-  * b.) //[[Thandean Colour Scheme +]]// (TCS+) - "Expansion pack" of TCS, eventually evolved into the RCS. Now discontinued.
-  * c.) **[[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|Ancient Revised Colour Scheme]]  (ARCS)** - More of a compatible variant of RCS for ancient and medieval maps, than a colour scheme of its own.
 **[[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: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:Ichronic Colour Scheme]] (ICS)** - Started by Lord Hastur of Carcosa and qazse, this colour scheme is intended for cyperpunk, steampunk or grimdark scenarios, and takes a massive departure form already-existing colour schemes.
 **[[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"**.
-**[[Global Colour Scheme]] (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.
 //[[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 (sans Susanoist conventions) into the TCS. Now discontinued.
