Please, make the Europe blue and Oceania green. I don´t know how to do it. --Viliam Furík (talk) 14:17, 14 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Bad colors edit

The current image has a major problem in that the colors both are not official and are arguably discriminatory. Assigning colors to continents was explicitly struck down by the IOC in 1951 and implicitly by ANOC themselves in 2014.

The easiest fix I can think of is to just switch to arbitrary colors, like we do on the United Nations Regional Groups and Continent articles. This would require updating each map legend on each article that has one. I can volunteer to do this if people like the arbitrary colors idea.

Greenland edit

Greenland is still under Danish rule and Greenlandic skiers have appeared for Denmark at the Winter Olympics, so I think it should be shaded green. Sheila1988 (talk) 09:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
