{{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
Dark mode
This template does not function in dark mode. If you have a use case for color in your page, you should use an existing more-specific template (such as {{Increase}} or {{Xt}}).
