Overview:
The {color} macro allows you to change text colour quickly and easily...
When used sparingly, changes in text colour can highlight important information (eg. red text) or even make text less obvious (eg. light grey text).
Parameters:
Add the macro to your page as follows:
{color:myColor}your text{color}
| Parameter | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| default |  |
The "myColor" default parameter defines the text colour for the content contained within the macro and can be either a common colour name (supported by most browsers) or a hexadecimal colour code (supported by all browsers). |
Your content can contain both plain text and also Wiki Markup Editor (including Macros).
Examples
Hints and Tips:
Alternate text colours can be used to highlight important information on a page by drawing the visitors attention to it due to the unusual colour.
When changing text colour, please try and keep a contrast between the text and the background so that it is still clearly readable. For example, in our example above, the yellow text is barely readable.
Frequently Asked Questions:
| Q | Where can I get HTML text colour codes from? |

| Q | Some colour names, such as "grey", don't seem to work in all browsers - why? |

| Q | How do I change the default colour of my text, etc? |
|---|---|
