{{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
Using the Codex Design Style Guide for Wikimedia text colors:
  • {{color|var(--color-success, #177860)|'''Success'''}}Success
  • {{color|var(--color-error, #bf3c2c)|'''Error'''}}Error
  • {{color|var(--color-content-added, #006400)|'''Content added'''}}Content added
  • {{color|var(--color-content-removed, #8b0000)|'''Content removed'''}}Content removed
