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)).
((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))
→ ((color|red))
→ The template generates an HTML span tag:
<span style="color:(({1))}">(({2))}</span>
It runs at speeds in excess of 700 per second,[clarification needed] and so is functionally identical to using the HTML markup directly.
