Colour of the party
I know that yellow is common associated with liberalism, but is Yellow really the colour of the party? The logo in the page is in black and white, their homepage is all cyan and pink, the logo of
the group in Wikipedia is in sky blue, when you search for the party in google you most find blue, cyan or
French tricolor-coloured images... I think that yellow is not the most adequated color to represent the party
Centrism, right-wing, big-tent
Renaissances brands itself as centrist and was actually centrist during the 2017 campaign. Its political position since evolved a lot, leaning to the right. It even occasionally embraced far-right themes, and is regularly pointing the main left-wing parties as "Enemy of the Republic" (aka State). Some also have called it Big Tent.
Labeling Renaissance "centrist" on Wikipedia is now deceptive. The French Wikipedia has stopped using a particular label in the intro. They only specify the political position in the infobox, where it says : centrism, right-wing and big tent.
I suggest we align on this and stop labeling Renaissance outside of the infobox, where we should at least add "Right wing".
The party is almost unanimously described by sources as centrist. It may be centre-right for French standards, but it is definitely centrist by European standards, which matter more as this is an international encyclopedia. I am going to rollback recent edits to the intro and the infobox. --

It may be described as a centrist party, but it's centre-right in economic ideology according to an independent research University in North Carolina (USA):
https://chesdata.shinyapps.io/Shiny-CHES/ .
Since the nomination of Gabriel Attal, it is described as right-wing (not center-right) by almost all Journals in France. The party's self-description isn't important for this article, otherwise we would put left-conservatism in the infobox of
BSW. 'European standards', or 'french standards' aren't clearly and officially defined. There are enough sources to change the infobox to center-right. The party also brands itself as progressive, although most english sources probably don't describe it that way at least since Macron defended Gérard Depardieu. There are reliable sources describing it as center-right.

Your 'favorite option'? Really? Plus one for 'centre to centre-right'. And may I propose 'center-left to right-wing' which largely describes all courants of the party (this is waht's on fr.wiki).

Then, let's have "centre-right". I am for "centre" and nothing else, but I can accept that. The only option I oppose is "centre to centre-right". --

This party is purely centrist, which is also described as a centre-left and centre-right party, exactly like the German FDP. The fact that the latter is currently described as a centre-right party on its Wikipedia page is what I consider to be a gross error, which does not take into account most sources. Let's not repeat the same mistake here too.--

I agree that Renaissance is a purely centrist party, with centre-right and centre-left tendencies. That is quite different anyway from Germanys' FDP, which is and has always and structurally been a centre-right party, on several issues to the right of the CDU. --

I know this is off topic, but also the FDP, just like Renaissance, is a centrist party with both centre-right and centre-left tendencies (there are sources that explain this well)... I think both parties should be considered in the same way.

Changing the colour of the party
I would like to open a discussion as to what colour the party should be represented with in election-related data tables. The official, and current, colour used in their official logo is a dark navy blue and is what editors have been using when creating election boxes and data tables to present election results.
However, there are quite a few similar, darker colours used for the main political parties of France (RE, LR, RN & REC all use dark blue/black shades). As Renaissance has several other colours associated with it, a different colour could be agreed upon to use in place. To open the discussion, I would suggest one the following options:
Option 1: Revert back to the yellow () used for La Republique En Marche!. Pros: already a fimilar colour in 2012-2017 election data tables & maps. Cons: not used anywhere in current Renaissance branding.
Option 2: Use the moderate blue () colour from the
official party website. Pros: closely follows the contemporary branding of the party. Cons: similar to LR's colour.
Option 3: Stay with the current colour (). Pros: matches the official logo. Cons: very similar to colours used for RN, LR & REC.
The current primary colour used on Wikipedia is not yellow - it is Option 3, dark navy. I would support returning the colour to yellow, as was the colour for Le Republique En Marche!.
