Template documentation | This template is used on approximately 464,000 pages, or roughly 32630% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | Prose text intended for readers should never be manually colored. (MOS:PROSECOLOR) |
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:
- Script error: No such module "demoTemplate".
- Script error: No such module "demoTemplate".
If the second parameter is omitted, the color value is displayed as text:
- Script error: No such module "demoTemplate".
- Script error: No such module "demoTemplate".
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,[<span title="Script error: No such module "decodeEncode".">clarification needed] and so is functionally identical to using the HTML markup directly.
