Talk:Libertarian Color

Can someone please write an article about this?

Can someone please write an article about this? For example, the Democrats are associated with Blue, and the Republicans are associated with Red. If a Green candidate ever wins in a State, the map they show on the news on Election Day will likely colour that state Green. But what about Libertarians? If the Libertarian Party wins in a certain state, what colour will that State be shown in?

Now, I did read this:

• Democratic Party: No single official colour, but increasingly associated with blue (see discussion above)
• Republican Party: No single official colour, but increasingly associated with red (see discussion above)
• Green Party: green
• Libertarian Party: No single official colour, but often associated with yellow
• Black Panther Party: black
• Communist Party: Red

I found that here: http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:iLTF2WtPSG8J:www.answers.com/topic/political-colour+republican+democrat+red+blue+green+libertarian&hl=en

It seems to make sense if we associate Yellow with the party, since Yellow is classically associated with Liberalism, and since the party's philosophy is steeped in Classical Liberalism.

However, I don't know how accurate it is.

Also, I know that when a sizte held mock elections, it assigned Badnarik with Yellow. At a certain point, America was looking pretty Yellow (according to this mock election), as you can see here: http://badnarik.org/blog/images/mock04.gif

So, if there IS an official colour for the party, erase this please and write an article on it. If there is no official colour, erase this please and write an article concerning why there isn't, and whether or not it's likely yellow would be accepted as the colour.

Thanks.

Okay, I just talked to the director of my State Libertarian Party. He wrote, "Blue variant - maybe - there is a branding initiative - talk to Jeremy (sp) Kyle in Wisconsin - he was super awesome campus coord in MD. Don't know when (or even authoritatively that it did) but I think I heard it on tv during the election coverage. Again with anything I am fuzzy on - fact check it before you use it."

So, some say it's a form of blue and others say yellow.

This is way too much of a discussion, this stuff belongs on the talk page. Anyway, I remember hearing purple at some time...anyone else? --Geoffrey Bell 16:01, 6 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I spoke to Michael Dixon a few months ago. He told me it's some shade of blue, but that he didn't know the specific letter/number code.

I would still prefer yellow since it does represent classical liberalism/capitalism, and since most associate blue with democrats (or in some places conservatism).

Purple is asociated with Monarchism and Royalists. I see little if any connection there to Liberarianism.

Yellow represents gold, which is considered to be the color of capitalism. The anarcho-capitalist flag yellow and black, as opposed to the anarcho-socialists whose flag is red and black. Since Murray Rothbard was an anarcho-capitalist, some people might associate yellow with the Libertarian Party. 65.147.187.216

How 'bout White?

I like White... Here's why:

1. It's clean and pure

2. It's the only color left of the "Red, White, and Blue"

3. It would go well on those maps of areas won in elections

I could come up with many more reasons, but I'll leave it to the electorate. - CJ
