Color templates in dark mode

I've taken to implementing dark mode support, so that the color displays correctly in dark mode. For example, Template:Infobox color on Black now displays black in the color swatch beneath the title. You will need to double-check that I performed this correctly; some colors seem to be completely different in mw-no-invert on my system.

Red
#FF0000

Green
#00FF00

Blue
#0000FF

Black
#000000

White
#FFFFFF

What should be done for the {{Text color templates see also}} series and {{Blue pencil}}? The former series is used for emphasis in various places, and in Template:Map of American English. Several talk pages use the latter, but Nordenfelt v Maxim Nordenfelt Guns and Ammunition Co Ltd is the only article that transcludes it. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 04:22, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Amber shift

Please help to source this article that has been unsourced for 15 years. I know it exists, but I can't find reliable sources. Thanks in advance. Bearian (talk) 18:32, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Wow, that's a terrible article. The lede and the "basic example" do not even agree whether the amber shift is with increasing or decreasing temperatures,~~ (nevermind, I read that wrong...) ...though according to the Plankian locus, the brighter light should appear less amber. With regards to human perception, there is a dependence of brightness of color purity, i.e. very dim (Hunt effect (color)) or very bright lights (Bezold–Brücke shift) will tend towards white (lower purity). I'll look into it later. I may just opt to merge ambershift into Incandescent light bulb or dimmer. Curran919 (talk) 08:23, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
