Hiking trails marking

Hi, my Slovak is not good enough and my Hungarian is nonexistent, so let me write in English and hope that we can communicate that way. I have noticed that you're either an author or the person who updated File:TouristicMarkingStripe-RAL red.svg etc. I appreciate that you used official colours from the STN. However I have two questions. Where did the idea to make orange, brown, beige, black and white trail signs come from while there are only four colours allowed by the same STN (3.1.4)? I know that there is this table mentioning all of these colours (3.8.2), but I assume not all of them are used as the main colour of the trail. Orange is used for skiing trails and for numbers on educational paths. I assume black is to be used for lettering and rafting. I have no idea what beige and brown are to be used for, but here we come to my second question. Don't you think white was meant to be used not for the white trail that doesn't exist but rather for these outer white stripes on every single sign? Which are #ffffff in our case?

@Arvedui89: Hello. It is possible that all other colors except red, blue, green and yellow serve a purpose other than marking the tourist route. All these files are based on the table you mentioned, where it is not clearly defined for what purpose the given colors are used.
