This is a documentation subpage for User:Kepler-1229b/Extended prodic table/Color.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original user template page.

This template returns the element's legend color, to be used in HTML makeup:

{{Element color|f-block}} → #9bff99

Some color codes are designed as fontcolor.

Some return values are designed as full border settings:
{{Element color|Synthetic}} → 2px dotted #6e6e8e

Note: the true code returned is like: #ffc0c0; (# being "#"). This way, any HTML page will not use "#" to start a numbered list.
