It says in the "names" that the colors and Red and White, as stated in the citation. However, the colors pictured are red and green. Is green another color, or should it just show white there? -- 76.211.231.174 ( talk) 01:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Another state that is missing from the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.178.172.162 ( talk) 14:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
In 2003 brown and yellow were officially proposed as state colors of Wyoming. [1] The bill does not appear to have passed though. Should these colors be added to the article (perhaps as a new section)? SiBr4 ( talk) 20:55, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
There are several more proposed sets of state colors: orange, red and yellow for New Hampshire [2] and green and gold for Vermont [3]. SiBr4 ( talk) 21:20, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
I've added Minnesota to the list of proposed state colors but I don't know how to edit the map on the upper right side of the page. If anyone knows how please do so.

According to New Jersey Legislature, and partly corroborated by the state's official site, the state colors (as on the flag) are buff and Jersey blue, not just "normal" blue; does anyone know what exactly Jersey blue looks like? Different renditions of the flag use different blues, and the flag on the Legislature site uses two different blues by itself. — Ayuskoto ( talk) 23:17, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
Is there a source for Tennessee’s “unofficial” state colors? Only I’m not finding anything on Google but sports teams and stuff about the flag, and if we’re counting unofficial colors there should at least be some evidence that it’s widely-used as such, shouldn’t there? 67.142.100.83 ( talk) 18:19, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
The only source ever cited for blue and gold as state colors is statesymbolsusa.org, which itself does not cite any actual sources and only lends an air of authority to erroneous claims. This article also claims blue and gold are adopted by several state agencies, but there are zero agencies listed or sources cited. The only purpose this section seems to serve is say "statesymbolsusa.org" is erroneous and clickbait, but why would we platform them fact? I'm tempted to just remove altogether and use the boilerplate "does not have known official state colors." At the very least, can we remove the color blocks and remove the color wheel from the map to take away the air of authority where there is none? Thoughts?

Crayola made similar crayon names for all 50 states and US landmarks to fill a box, and there's absolutely no citation of the color being widely embraced or used as a "state color" since then. If other arguments can be made for yellow/gold, I'm open to seeing some citations, otherwise, this feels dubious and worthy of demotion to "no known official colors."

An edit was recently made removing Delaware's "dubious" status because there was no talk topic, so here it is.
The edit added a reference to StateSymbolsUsa.org (which has provided erroneous info with no citations in multiple instances), alleging it shows Delaware's colors in law. It does not actually contain those sources.
The edit did provide an updated link for the government webpage citation, which I am grateful for, and will be retaining. However, that government site did not and still does not cite any legislation or code making those colors official, despite providing specific parts of Delaware code for nearly every other official state symbol designation.
My hypothesis was (and remains) that this is a case of "state colors" (a common name for a state flag) geting misinterpreted as "official colors of a state". I'd love to see some official legislation or code proving that wrong so we can get this thing firmed up. TheTaraStark ( talk) 04:45, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
