I personally quite like the burgundy passport my country uses. And afaik most countries in the EU use burgundy for their passports.
What exactly would be the added value of changing the colour of our passports?
Corporate Identity.
From the link it sounds like a way to show your European (EU) identity when abroad. But it also says it would be offered as an alternative to the burgundy ones for those who want one, not as a replacement
My passport is blue and I'm not european tho
Might be missing the stars and the text though
It's a conspiracy thing. Colors supposedly grant different degrees of freedom.
Tell me which colour gives most freedom. I want to save on groceries.
Unfortunately you have to google it. I just remember having read about it. If I remember right, black were the best ones.
I’d rather get the Schengen Contract back, what is a EU passport worth of if I still have border checks within EU members
The Schengen Agreement is still in force. There are just a bunch of criminal politicians and their accomplices in the border authorities taking a big fat shit on the law. Unfortunately with impunity.
So the Schengen Agreement is not in force, got it
At the moment, EU citizens aren’t actually citizens of the EU as an entity, but citizens of a member state of the EU, and your EU citizens’ rights flow from that. Having a passport that only mentions the EU on the cover, and gives your actual nationality on the information page as a detail alongside your place of birth and distinguishing marks, would be weird to say the least in these circumstances.
Actually establishing personal EU citizenship, so that your relationship is with the EU and your nation-state citizenship gets demoted to a secondary tier like which municipality you’re registered in, would make this make a lot more sense, but is a far more sweeping change, akin to Volt’s “United States of Europe” proposals, and is not going to come about from a petition.
While I can in general agree with you, European citizenship is very much a thing. Any citizen of any country of the European Union is a European Union citizen.
Citizenship does exist and grants a few rights to the holder.
Even without Schengen a European citizen has the right to travel and move to any other European country, the right to vote in European elections and a little more.
It's not much, but it sure is a thing.
I'd like one, but I live in Scotland. Fucking brexiteers.
Time for another referendum?
Why? Most European passports already literally say:
European Union "Country name" Passport
On the front.
The current state of affairs globally:

And a map:
EDIT: Note that the map colors above are "binned" into a few categories, to show what approximate color is used and the colors vary within that range. Not everyone uses the same green or blue or red or whatever.
Turquoise passport makes me jealous. Dark green also looks great.
That's a bit weird. I have both Russian and German passports, and they are very close to each other in color.
It's a trap! After you've signed this, every other petition you will encounter will make you wonder why you signed this one, but wouldn't sign that one. You'll be signing petitions for the rest of your life!
No thanks ,don't trust it
You don't trust the colour blue?
Blue sus.
I really like the burgundy honestly... it is odd to have something so away from the EU-blue though
