Template talk:C

Usage

This template is a shorthand for changing the color of text.

You can use it in two ways:

• {{C|color|text}}

• {{C|color|text|background color}}

Colors can be given by name, such as "Red" or "SpringGreen". A full list can be found at Help:Web Colours.

They can also be given in hexadecimal format from "#000000" (black) to "#FFFFFF" (white). For example #FF8000 all red, some green and no blue, giving orange.

An rgb format can also be used from "rgb(0, 0, 0)" (black) to "rgb(255, 255, 255)" (white). The previous orange would be "rgb(255, 128, 0)" in this format.

An alpha component can be specified in the extended rgba format. The fourth number varies between 0 and 1, 0 being transparent and 1 being fully opaque. "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" (transparent black), "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)" (semi-transparent black), "rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)" (opaque black).
