ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color

ଛାଞ୍ଚ ଡକ୍ୟୁମେଣ୍ଟେସନ୍[view] [edit] [ଇତିହାସ] [purge]

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.
  
•    E Template:Element color/E → [[:ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/E]] Note: Historical (previously for years and eras), kept to ensure that old revisions do not appear broken.
  
•    F Template:Element color/F → [[:ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/F]] Note: Historical (previously for years and eras), kept to ensure that old revisions do not appear broken.
  
•    X Template:Element color/X → [[:ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/X]] Note: Unspecific, redirected to Unknown (white)
  
•    Disambig Template:Element color/Disambig → [[:ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/Disambig]] Note: Not a legend color, unknown intention.
  
•    UnknownC Template:Element color/UnknownC → [[:ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/UnknownC]] Note: Unclear meaning. Redirected to Unknown phase
  
•    veryreactive Template:Element color/veryreactive → [[:ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/veryreactive]] Note: Testing or sandbox.
  

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}}
