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

This template is used for color blocks on graphs.

For the Wikipedia's {{Color}} or {{Red}} etc use one of the following classes instead:

• red · red
• green · green
• blue · blue
• gray · gray (not grey), which will appear very light gray if using a dark skin
• whitetext · white text

Examples

{{Text|class=red|This is red text}}:
This is red text

{{Ombox|class=darkskin|text=This text is in <span class="green">green</span> and <span class=":blue">blue</span>.:

Incorrect syntax

Using style="font-color:green" instead of the correct style="class:green" will cause the default HTML shade of that color to appear, instead of the MEpedia shade that has improved readability.

Correcting color shades

All these named classes have a suitable share for the default skins set in MediaWiki:Common.css, and for the dark Timeless skin. Before changing any shades they should be tested for contrast using an accessibility tool online.
