I've moved from ru.wp five icons of pure cyan shade (#00FFFF), and together with those from [[#RizhMZD]] they make up [[:Category:Icons for railway descriptions/set cyan|quite a full set]]. This colour is actually quite different from all light blues that we have, and what's more important, it is a major web colour. So, on second thoughts, I guess we should give this set a chance. However, all former RizhMZD icons should be re-painted from current 67f8ff (or vice versa?), and I don't know what to do with multicolored icons.

:I should say that saturated spectral colors such as {{colorbox|#FF00FF}} {{colorbox|#00FFFF}} {{colorbox|#00FF00}} are an eye sore and most major wikipedias have recomendations against them in their style manuals. While I agree that '''cyan''' is an important color and that these icons should be integrated, not discarded, I’d suggest something less eye-searing (and more likely to be '''useful'''), such as Tiffany Blue or turquoise… -- [[User:Tuvalkin|Tuválkin]] [[User talk:Tuvalkin|✉]] 03:35, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
