Wikipedia:Colors of political parties in the Netherlands
This is an essay in which colours are proposed to be used for the representation of the Dutch political parties when preparing graphics or other features for use on the politics of the Netherlands pages. Note that this is not an official policy, however it is a serious effort to achieve consistency in the articles.
In different graphical representations of the parties in Dutch politics, different colours have been used. For consistency in the articles; this page proposes to use a single (RGB) colour for each party.
The colours (will be soon see talk) are listed and shown below.
Current parties
Below the parties currently represented in the House of Representatives. If you are using colours in tables or figures please use the colours listed below. The RGB colour values are given in both hexadecimal format for use in Wikipedia, and in decimal format for use in many other (graphical) programs. If your program does not allow you to select RGB colours, first try to use a program that does, or convert you figure through a program that allows you to do so (e.g. Excel graphs imported in Powerpoint can have the colours adjusted to RGB). If that does not work, select colours as closely matched to the colours listed below.
