The purpose of this template is to provide a consistent color scheme for tropical cyclones based on the Saffir–Simpson scale, the classifications used by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers in cyclone basins other than the Atlantic and NE Pacific, and North American winter storms rated on the Regional Snowfall Index (RSI) scale.
These color overrides can either add an extra color to the template without adding a category, or override the color of an existing category or category alias for backwards compatibility. Make sure that added colors are compatible with black at a bare minimum, or else Module:Storm categories/demo will display errors as a check.

The Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS) is a tropical cyclone intensity scale that classifies hurricanes—which in the Western Hemisphere are tropical cyclones that exceed the intensities of tropical depressions and tropical storms—into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds.
The Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, assigns a numerical classification of hurricanes into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds. The scale spans from Category 1 (winds of at least 74 miles per hour (119 km/h)) to Category 5 (exceeding 156 miles per hour (251 km/h)).

A Category 4 hurricane has winds of 113 to 136 kn (130 to 157 mph; 209 to 252 km/h), while a Category 5 hurricane has winds of at least 137 kn (158 mph; 254 km/h). [1] [3] A post tropical cyclone is a system that has weakened, into a remnant low or has dissipated and formal advisories are usually discontinued at this stage. [1]
