Template:Color/doc

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

Usage

The code is as followed: {{color|name of colour or hex code of color|Text}}

For example:

• {{color|red|Hello, Mugenri!}} → Hello, Mugenri!
• {{color|#575757|Hello, Mugenri!}} → Hello, Mugenri!

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

• {{color|#575757}} → #575757
• {{color|red}} → red

Performance considerations

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.
