Template:Colors/sandbox
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Colors (diff). |
Usage
[edit]{{Colors| background | foreground | text }}
Sets foreground and background colors of a block of inline text. Colors can be specified by name, or (RGB hex triplet) in #DDDDDD format.
Unless in the case of personal use on a user page, use this template with great caution:
- A poor contrast may make the text difficult or impossible to read.
- The contrast can be experienced as even poorer in the case of color blindness.
- Links have a color according to user settings; they become invisible if this color is equal to the background color.
