Template:Color

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template:Warning {{color}} can be used to specify the foreground color of a span of text. Acceptable values are RGB hex codes, e.g. #C9E72A, or any of the web colors: red, blue, green, moccasin, darkorchid, etc. To set the background color of a span of text, use {{background color}}.

Usage

• {{color|name of color or hex code of color|Text}}

For example:

• {{color|red|Hello, world!}} → Hello, world!
• {{color|#00F000|Hello, world!}} → Hello, world!

If the second parameter is omitted, the color value is displayed as text:

• {{color|#00F000}} → #00F000
• {{color|red}} → red

Dark mode

This template does not function in dark mode. If you have a use case for color in your page, you should use an existing more-specific template (such as {{increase}} or {{xt}}).
