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

This template in itself is not used. It acts as a container for specific colors:

{{Element color/Alkali metals}} → #ff6666
{{Element color/Solid}} → green

This color code can be used to set a color in a periodic table.

Table background

Notes:

This table background template requires a parameter.
Different from element cell backgrounds, they are not intended to be in a legend.

Usage:

{{Element color/Table|header}} → #e0e0e0

The parameter spec is also the first unnamed parameter:

{{Element color/Table|header}} → #e0e0e0

**Available background colors for periodic tables**
Usage: `{{Element color/Table|header}}`
Specification (1st parameter)	Alternative specification	Returns color	Note
`title`	`caption`	`#d8d8d8`
`header`		`#e0e0e0`
`colheader`	`rowheader, subheader, colh, rowh, subh`	`#e8e8e8`
`mark`		`#f0f0f0`
`background`	`bg`	`#f8f8f8`	Also the default return value
`border`		`#a9a9a9`	Equals predefined color "grey"

The default value (returned when the first parameter is not recognised) is background:

{{Element color/Table|}} → #f8f8f8.

This default can be overridden by parameter:

{{Element color/Table|default=#a0f4c0}} → #f8f8f8

The return values are complete color values to be used as a CSS style, including the # but not the ; character.

Alternative: simple template `{{element color|...}}`

All colors are also available via the simple template {{element color|...}}. That is, enter the nam as a parameter to the template:

{{element color|alkali metal}} → #ff6666.

The outcome (color id) is the same. The template is a bit more lax for the input (any capitalisation accepted, also singular accepted).

Deprecated or unknown meaning

Do not use these color names. In general, it is advised to use a more specific, meaningfull color name. These color names are not used in main space, and most are redirected to an other color.
