What do the colors mean Why was North Korea in dark green and South Korea in light green, and which should I name?

[the_origami_fox]

The pictures come straight from Wikipedia. From the picture for North Korea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea): Territory controlled by North Korea shown in dark green; territory claimed but not controlled shown in light green.

China isn't in light green for Taiwan. Is that situation different in some way?

[rob74]

But Taiwan is in light green for China...

[agapon]

Does Taiwan claim sovereignty over mainland China?

[jowea]

Technically speaking yes. It's complicated.

[mkl]

It did historically, and has not formally renounced its claim (which included Mongolia).

[4gotunameagain]

yeah, very different power imbalance and influence :)

[thaumasiotes]

How so? Where's North Korea's influence? If anything, Taiwan has more ability to enforce its territorial claims.

[4gotunameagain]

North Korea appears as a territory of South Korea, not the opposite

[allywilson]

I assumed it was areas contested by that country, could be wrong.

[midasuni]

I think Germany was orange.

Certainly not clear if I should put North Korea or South Korea.
