THe red colour is just wrong! See Grunge for example. 121.98.204.148 (talk) 05:36, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FFS! This is not an article it is a template. And all I want changed is the colour. Are you editors hitting an "answered" button on some simiautomated bot without looking at what the request is about. Have a look at the article I linked to. This template sticks out like dogs balls!! WP is not going anywhere with you useless editors. !!!! 121.98.204.148 (talk) 00:11, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I will spell it out for you. USE THE COMMONLY USED COLOUR! 121.98.204.148 (talk) 20:56, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It seems red is the common color for this template, since 2006. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:01, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have used common in the wrong context. Red has been used since 2006. It is not "common" since 2006. Try doing some thinking. 121.98.204.148 (talk) 21:09, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the ((Edit semi-protected)) template. Lemonaka (talk) 18:18, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done per MOS:NAVBOXCOLOR as not an "appropriate, representative" colour for the genre. (I'd made this change as a seemingly obvious one, before seeing the talk page discussion.) Belbury (talk) 10:16, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
