Template:Bgcolor

style="background-color:{{{1}}};"

Usage

This template generates CSS for table cell backgrounds, for use in wiki markup tables. It takes one or two colour inputs, which can be hex including the hash (eg. #69B3E7) or a web colour term (eg. aquamarine).

If only one colour is specified, the box background is that colour. If two are specified, the background shades a gradient from one to the other, top left to bottom right.

Example:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
! Player !! Score !! Danger
|-
! Chico
|                        | 95
| {{bgcolor|red|yellow}} | High
|-
! Groucho
| {{bgcolor|#ffff88}}    | 132
| {{bgcolor|lightgreen}} | Low
|-
! Harpo
|                        | 43
| {{bgcolor|lightgreen}} | Low
|}

produces:

Player	Score	Danger
Chico	95	High
Groucho	132	Low
Harpo	43	Low
