Template:Color

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

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

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

For example:

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

Performance considerations

The template generates an HTML span tag:

<syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none"><span style="color:{{{1}}}">{{{2}}}</span></syntaxhighlight>

It runs at speeds in excess of 700 per second, and so is functionally identical to using the HTML markup directly.
