Template:Color sample/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Color sample.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{Color sample|red}} →
{{Color sample|#00FF00}} →
{{Color sample|#00FF00|description=green}} →
Adds a description of the color for screen reader users
{{Color sample|{{party color|Independent politician}}}} →
(Instead of specifying a color directly, this example uses {{party color|Independent politician}}, which generates Template:Party color.)

Size option:

A second parameter allows to define the size of the square: 1 is large (default), 0.6 is quite small, 0.2 is minuscule. Examples:

{{Colorsample|#008000}} or {{Colorsample|#008000|1}} gives:

{{Colorsample|#008000|0.5}} gives:

{{Colorsample|#008000|0.2}} gives:

Note: When hovered over, the template shows the value used for color as a tooltip by default. This is also heard by a screen reader. An optional parameter, |description= can be used to change that to something more user-friendly, as shown in the third example.
