Template:Color sample

 

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

Usage

• {{Color sample|red}} →  
• {{Color sample|#00FF00}} →  
• {{Color sample|#00FF00|description=green}} →  
  Adds a description of the color for screen reader users
• {{Color sample|{{party color|Independent politician}}}} →  
  (Instead of specifying a color directly, this example uses {{party color|Independent politician}}, which generates #DCDCDC.)

Size option:

• A second parameter allows to define the size of the square: 1 is large (default), 0.6 is quite small, 0.2 is minuscule. Examples:
  

{{Colorsample|#008000}} or {{Colorsample|#008000|1}} gives:  

{{Colorsample|#008000|0.5}} gives:  

{{Colorsample|#008000|0.2}} gives:  

Note: When hovered over, the template shows the value used for color as a tooltip by default. This is also heard by a screen reader. An optional parameter, |description= can be used to change that to something more user-friendly, as shown in the third example.
