Please discuss additional types that need to be accounted for on the [[Template talk:Infobox musical artist#Color coding scheme|template talk page]].

'''The user doesn't choose the colors directly''', rather you simply specify a name in the Background field which identifies the type of performer. The possible background colors, with the corresponding names, are indicated on the bars in the table below.
