{{Warning |'''Prose text intended for readers should never be manually colored.''' ([[MOS:PROSECOLOR]])}}
{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Color/styles.css}}
{{tl|color}} can be used to specify the foreground color of a span of text. Acceptable values are [[RGB color model|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 {{Template link|background color}}.

== Usage ==
* {{Template link expanded|color|name of color or hex code of color|Text}}

For example:
* {{#invoke:demoTemplate|color|red|Hello, world!}}
* {{#invoke:demoTemplate|color|#00F000|Hello, world!}}

If the second parameter is omitted, the color value is displayed as text:
* {{#invoke:demoTemplate|color|#00F000}}
* {{#invoke:demoTemplate|color|red}}

<div style="background-color:var(--background-color-base); color:var(--color-base); border:1px solid var(--border-color-base); padding:4px; margin:4px;">Using the [[wmdoc:codex/latest/design-tokens/color.html|Codex Design Style Guide for Wikimedia]] text colors:
* {{#invoke:demoTemplate|color|var(--color-success, #177860)|'''Success'''}}
* {{#invoke:demoTemplate|color|var(--color-error, #bf3c2c)|'''Error'''}}
* {{#invoke:demoTemplate|color|var(--color-content-added, #006400)|'''Content added'''}}
* {{#invoke:demoTemplate|color|var(--color-content-removed, #8b0000)|'''Content removed'''}}</div>

== Redirects ==
* {{Template link general |COLOR|nolink=on|code=on}}
* {{Template link general |Colored text|nolink=on|code=on}}
* {{Template link general |Colour|nolink=on|code=on}}
* {{Template link general|COLOUR|nolink=on|code=on}}
* {{Template link general |Fgcolor|nolink=on|code=on}}

* {{Template link|resize}}
* {{Template link|colored link}}
* {{Template link|background color}}
* {{Template link|font color}} – allows setting both text and background color
* {{Template link|coltit}} – colored table header cell
* {{Template link|overcoloured}} – when color is used in a way that hides information from color-blind people
