Extra colors for Chibchan and Tucanoan languages?

Following this edit request at Template talk:Infobox language, which didn't get any participation, should new colors be added for Chibchan languages and Tucanoan languages?

In support of my argument, most American language families with large amounts of languages typically get their own family colors. Campbell (2024) highlights Arawakan, Cariban, Chapacuran, Chibchan, Macro-Jê Sensu Stricto, Pano-Takanan, Quechuan, Tukanoan (Tucanoan), and Tupían as being "larger language families" (i.e. >6 languages present).^[1] Per this argument, Chapacuran should also get its own color (  ). 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 18:49, 18 October 2025 (UTC) 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 18:49, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
