 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Color. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 122,000 pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to it should first be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in a single edit. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template 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[edit source]
{{color|name of color or hex code of color|Text}}
For example:
If the second parameter is omitted, the color value is displayed as text:
Performance considerations[edit source]
The template generates an HTML span tag:
<span style="color:{{{1}}}">{{{2}}}</span>
It runs at speeds in excess of 700 per second, and so is functionally identical to using the HTML markup directly.
Redirects[edit source]
{{COLOR}}{{Colored text}}{{Colour}}{{COLOUR}}{{Fgcolor}}
