The colours used on the Legion Publication History denote the following.

Heading colours

Used for year headers on the by-year pages, and for era on series which cross eras, such as Legion of Super-Heroes v4.

Continuity family
Era code
Preboot
Pre-Crisis (until Feb 1986) class="preboot_prec_heading"
Post-Crisis (Mar 1986-Aug 1989) class="preboot_postc_heading"
Five Years Later/Glorithverse (Aug 1989-Aug 1994) class="preboot_5yl_heading"
Retroboot (overlaps with Threeboot Aug 2006-Jan 2009,
main Feb 2009-Aug 2011) 		class="preboot_retro_heading"
Post-Flashpoint (Sep 2011-2013) class="preboot_postfp_heading"
Reboot
Post-Zero Hour (Aug 1994-Oct 2004) class="reboot_postzh_heading"
Earth-247 (never main version,
occasional use May 2006 onward) 		class="reboot_e247_heading"
Threeboot
Earth-Prime (Oct 2004-Jan 2009,
occasional use thereafter) 		class="threeboot_eprime_heading"
Rebirth
Earth-0 (Oct 2019-present) class="rebirth_heading"
Television
Based on Legion of Super Heroes cartoon class="cartoon_lsh_heading"
Based on DCAU
(Superman: TAS, Justice League Unlimited) 		class="cartoon_dcau_heading"
Elseworlds
Other class="elseworlds_heading"

Issue background colours

These relate to issue entries, e.g.:

Legionnaires77.jpg Legionnaires #77 (published September 8, 1999; cover date November 1999)
  • Endless Summer
    • W: Roger Stern, Tom McCraw; P: Jeff Moy; I: W.C. Carani; C: Tom McCraw; L: Pat Brosseau; E: Mike McAvennie, Frank Berrios (Assistant Editor); "Adult Legionnaire" [Script Assistant]: Carmela Merlo
Cover by Alan Davis (pencils), Mark Farmer (inks), Richard and Tanya Horie (colours), John Roshell (logo design) Superboy's Legion #1 (published February 21, 2001, cover date 2001)
  • (untitled) (48 pages)
    • W: Mark Farmer; P: Alan Davis; I: Mark Farmer; C: Richard and Tanya Horie; L: Pat Prentice; E: Mike McAvennie
    • Notes: Part 1 of an Elseworlds story in which Superboy is R.J. Brande's son and one of the original three founders of the Legion
  • Format: Prestige Format, $5.95

White, as in the Legionnaires #77 example, denotes a "normal" issue - i.e., an issue of a Legion title, or a significant guest appearance, which follows the era denoted by the year/etc header.

Other background colours, such as the grey behind Superboy's Legion #1, derive from the heading colours above:

Preboot (Pre-Crisis) Preboot (Post-Crisis) Preboot (5YL) Preboot (Retro) Preboot (Post-Flashpoint) Reboot (Post-ZH) Reboot (Earth-247) Threeboot (Earth-Prime) Elseworlds Cartoon (DCAU) Cartoon (LSH)
