Template:Color

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


For example:

Performance considerations
The template generates an HTML span tag:
 * 

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