Libertarian Color

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.

EDIT

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)
