Lihimi Tɛmplet:Element color/doc ni yi shɛli na

{{Documentation subpage}}
This template returns the element's legend color, to be used in HTML makeup:
* {{tlf|Element color|<nowiki>f-block</nowiki>}} &rarr; <code>{{element color|f-block}}</code>

* Some color codes are designed as fontcolor.

* Some return values are designed as full border settings:
* {{tlf|Element color|<nowiki>Synthetic</nowiki>}} &rarr; <code>{{element color|synthetic}}</code>

Note: the true code returned is like: <code><nowiki>&amp;#x23;ffc0c0;</nowiki></code> (<code><nowiki>&amp;#x23;</nowiki></code> being "#").
This way, any HTML page will not use "#" to start a numbered list.

==Background color options==
:{{code|1=style=background}} ''attribute value''
:In code: <code><nowiki>style="background:{{element color|alkali metals}};"</nowiki></code>

==Colors hardcoded==
The same colors, with the same key, may be hardcoded in templates and pages:
* See {{clc|Category:Pages containing element color directly}}
* {{tlx|Periodic table (32 columns, micro)/elementcell}}
* {{tlx|Periodic table (Goldschmidt classification)}} (cells, not the legend)
* {{tlx|Infobox element/symbol-to-occurrence/format2}}
* {{tlx|Infobox element/symbol-to-block/format2}}

==Tracking and warning==
Element color ID's used in mainspace (articles) but ''not'' in {{tl|Element color}} are listed in {{clc|Element color has unknown ID}}; these articles show awarning in preview.
