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

This template returns the element's legend color, to be used in HTML makeup:

  • {{Element color|Alkali metal}}#ff9d9d
  • Some color codes are designed as fontcolor.
  • Some return values are designed as full border settings:
  • {{Element color|Synthetic}}2px dotted #6e6e8e

Note: the true code returned is like: #ffc0c0; (# being "#"). This way, any HTML page will not use "#" to start a numbered list.
