Recently in the last year, my goal has been working on making all age-related SVG maps to match each other by color and fix geographical errors. The current color scheme was created boldy by administrator De728631 to "enhance contrast for color blind readers". I thought it was a great idea but there was an issue with age-related maps not being in sync with each other. This project page is to hopefully fix that and come up with a consensus for the correct colors and geographical features.

Some improvement still needs to be made. Unfortunately, the age-related colors are restricted to 16-21 and may not correspond with other ages below 16. One solution is to use the age-related colors from Age of consent (  age 12,   age 13,   age 14 and   age 15) but these colors may not match the contrast created by De728631. Another solution is to re-do all the colors altogether with community consensus. Though the current colors were created by De728631, the color for age 20 was created by myself and I picked a random color not knowing how I could match it with De728631's contrast.

The other problem is what color to use for a non-age related status, such as when alcohol is prohibited. In that instance,    was used but I changed it to    (which matches the illegal status in Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction). Consensus needs to be established for this color as well.

I think we should have a discussion about these inconsistencies but don't know where to begin. If you have an ideas, please let me know on my talk page. cookie monster 755
