Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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

Some color codes are designed as fontcolor:

{{Element color|f-block}} → #9bff99

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.

Background color options

style=background attribute value

In code: style="background:{{element color|alkali metals}};"

Blocks

s-block → #ff9999
p-block → #fdff8c
d-block → #99ccff
f-block → #9bff99
g-block → #fd99ff
h-block → #7ed9d9
i-block → #e0c880

Theoretical elements (option, usually full color is used. See g-block):

s-block (predicted) → #ffcccc
p-block (predicted) → #ffffbf
d-block (predicted) → #c7eeff
f-block (predicted) → #cdffcc
g-block (predicted) → #febfff

Groups

group 18 → #c0ffff Note: noble gases

Categories metal–metalloid–nonmetal

Metal → #eee8aa
Metalloid → #cccc99
Non-metal → #b0e0e6

Standard atomic weight

saw-header → #b0e0e6
saw → #e1fcff
msi-header → #c3ffd8
msi → #e1ffec

msi = most stable isotope

Year and era

Antiquity to Middle Ages → #ffb9b9
Before 1800 → #dfcdff
1800-1849 → #cbffb9
1850-1899 → #b9ffe4
1900-1949 → #ffe2b9
1950-1999 → #fff6b9
2000-present → #ffb9ef

Numbers

Used in: Valence (chemistry)#Maximum valences of the elements These colors correspond to the Alkali metal–noble gases range

0 → #c0ffff
1 → #ff8989
2 → #ffdead
3 → #ffbfff
4 → #cccccc
5 → #cccc99
6 → #a0ffa0
7 → #ffff99
8 → #d1ddff
9 → #c6dd9d
unknown valence → #ededed

Metalloid cite classes

See Lists of metalloids § Chronological list

Metalloid citeclass 1of4 → #baffba Note: currently: 93%
Metalloid citeclass 2of4 → #badcff Note: currently: 44%
Metalloid citeclass 3of4 → #ffbadc Note: currently: 24%
Metalloid citeclass 4of4 → #ffffba Note: currently: 9%

Cell border options

style=border attribute value

In code: style="border:{{element color|synthetic}};"

Occurrence (cell border)

Primordial → 2px solid #6e6e8e
From decay → 2px dashed #6e6e8e Note: "Natural radio" deprecated
Synthetic → 2px dotted #6e6e8e
Undiscovered → 2px solid transparent
None → 2px solid transparent

Font color options

style=color attribute value

In code: style="color:{{element color|gas}};"

State of matter (font color)

As of January 2021, not used

A Solid → #000000
A Liquid → #000000
A Gas → #000000
A Unknown phase → #000000

Setting a default color

|1=not a color name |default=#aabbcc → #aabbcc (use # not #)

|1=not a color name |default=thistle → thistle

"Unknown" variants

Usable in mainspace

White → #ffffff
Unknown chemical properties → #e8e8e8 -- Category
A Unknown phase → #000000 -- State of Matter
Undiscovered → 2px solid transparent Note: Border -- Occurrence
none → 2px solid transparent Note: Border -- Occurrence

**Available background colors for periodic tables**
Usage: `{{Element color|table header}}`
Specification (1st parameter)	Alternative specification	Returns color	Note
`title`	`caption`	`#d8d8d8`
`header`		`#e0e0e0`
`colheader`	`rowheader, subheader`	`#e8e8e8`
`mark`		`#f0f0f0`
`background`	`bg`	`#f8f8f8`	Also the default return value
`border`		`#a9a9a9`	Equals predefined color "grey"

Colors hardcoded

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

See Category:Pages containing element color directly (6)
{{Periodic table (32 columns, micro)/elementcell}}
{{Periodic table (Goldschmidt classification)}} (cells, not the legend)
{{Infobox element/symbol-to-occurrence/format2}}
{{Infobox element/symbol-to-block/format2}}

Tracking and warning

Element color ID's used in mainspace (articles) but not in {{Element color}} are listed in Category:Element color has unknown ID (0); these articles show awarning in preview.

Template data

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Element color in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Element color

This template returns an RGB color number, for usage in css style setting (style="background:#ab23a6"). For certain input, a css fontcolor or border style is returned.

Template parameters
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Color class name	`1`	Predefined class name to return its legend color Example alkali metal	String	required

Deprecated and experimental parameters

Those not for mainspace are kept in {{Element color/secondary}}
