{{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}}

=== Dark mode ===
This template does not function in dark mode. If you have a use case for color in your page, you should use an existing more-specific template (such as {{tl|increase}} or {{tl|xt}}).

== 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}}

== See also ==
* {{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
