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. | **[[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]] (aRCS) is a compatible variant of RCS for ancient and medieval maps. |
| |
* **//[[Thandean Colour Scheme]]// (TCS)** - Meant mainly as a major reform of [[offtopic:Thande]]'s original UCS. | **[[resources:TACOS Colour Scheme]] (TACOS)** - Collective creation, later revised twice by [[offtopic:oshron]]. Alternative to UCS/RCS, considered best used for radically different timelines. |
* **//[[Thandean Colour Scheme +]]// (TCS+)** - "Expansion pack" of TCS, eventually evolving into RCS. | |
* **[[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. | |
| |
**[[Global Colour Scheme]] (GCS)** - Created as an independent effort at a new derivative of the original UCS. | **[[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. |
| |
**//[[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. | **[[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. |
| |
**//[[Unified Colour Palette]]// (UCP)** - This revision has the integral changes of Susanoism, as well as additional territories that have been added. It was eventually absorbed (sans Susanoist conventions) into TCS | **[[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"**. |
