ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/doc

This template 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.

Alternatively, one can use the plain template with a parameter, like this:

• {{Element color|Alkali metals}} → #ff6666

or

• {{Element color|alkali metal}} → #ff6666

See below.

Table background

Notes:

1. This table background template requires a parameter.
2. 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
  

ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/Table/Overview

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.

Template by parameter: {{element color|...}}

All colors are also available via the simple template {{element color|...}}. That is, enter the color's meaningful name 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.

•    D Template:Element color/D → [[:ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/D]] Note: Historical (previously for years and eras), kept to ensure that old revisions do not appear broken.

Colors hardcoded

The same colors, with the same key, may be hardcoded in templates and pages:

• {{NavPeriodicTable/Elementcell}}
• {{Compact extended periodic table}}
• {{Infobox element/headers}}
• {{Compact periodic table}} (legend only)
• {{Periodic table (Goldschmidt classification)}}

Infoboxes with hardcoded series color (header background color):

• {{infobox ununennium}}
• {{infobox unbinilium}}
