Parameters

The following template parameters are supported:

Spectral color parameters (optional)
wavelength	The wavelength interval in nm.
frequency	The frequency in THz.
Symbolism (optional)
symbolism	What the color commonly represents. Multiple lines may be included using <br>
RGB parameters (optional)
r	The red coordinate in the RGB space. Enables the display of RGB coordinates.
g	The green coordinate in the RGB space.
b	The blue coordinate in the RGB space.
hex	This parameter is also shown when RGB is specified.
rgbspace	(Optional) Specifies the RGB space used. Replaces the default "RGB".
sRGB	(Optional) Specifies that the RGB space is sRGB. Overrides rgbspace if used.
CMYK parameters (optional)
cmyk	Enables the display of CMYK coordinates. This is disabled by default.
c	Cyanic CMYK color space coordinate
m	Magenta CMYK color space coordinate
y	Yellow CMYK color space coordinate
k	Black CMYK color space coordinate
HSV parameters (optional)
h	Hue HSV color space coordinate. Enables the display of HSV coordinates. Use the unit Degree. If you use other units, see "Conversion of some common angles (For Parameter h (hue))".
s	Saturation HSV color space coordinate
v	Value HSV color space coordinate
Variation samples (optional)
variations	If set include some samples of variations.
variationstitle	Used for the title of the variations section, otherwise "Some variations of title" is used.
variationN	Name of the Nth variation, where N is between 1 and 8.
variationNcolor	Color used for variationN, defaults to the web color of the same name.
Other parameters
bgcolor	(Optional) Color in hex format used for background behind the name of the color. Defaults to value specified by the hex parameter.
caption	(Optional) Appears under image, if specified.
caveat	(Optional) Additional text to display at the bottom of the infobox.
colorspace	(Optional) Colorspace of this color.
hex	Color in hex format, also used as default for bgcolor unless present.
image	(Optional) Name of an image to display. Do not use wikicode: use the format `image=Image:Example.jpg`
isccname	(Optional) Display ISCC–NBS System of Color Designation color category
nocoords	Disable the display of color coordinates if set. Only title and optionally picture, spectral coordinates, symbolism and the caveat will be displayed.
source	Source for these color coordinates. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Color/Sources for Color Coordinates.
spelling	(Optional) For articles standardised to the British spelling this can be set to "Colour". The word "colour" is case-insensitive.
textcolor	(Optional) Colour in which to show the name of the colour. Should be set to white if "hex" is a dark colour, or else not set.
title	Name of the color

Conversion of some common angles (For Parameter h (hue))

Units	Values
Turns	0	¹⁄₁₂	¹⁄₈	¹⁄₆	¹⁄₄	¹⁄₂	³⁄₄	1
Degrees	0°	30°	45°	60°	90°	180°	270°	360°
Radians	0	${\tfrac {\pi }{6}}$	${\tfrac {\pi }{4}}$	${\tfrac {\pi }{3}}$	${\tfrac {\pi }{2}}$	$\pi$	${\tfrac {3\pi }{2}}$	$2\pi$
Grads	0^g	33⅓^g	50^g	66⅔^g	100^g	200^g	300^g	400^g

Notes

Color/Colour spelling

For articles standardised to British spelling, add the parameter spelling=Colour. The word "colour" is case-insensitive.

CMYK values

Note that CMYK values are not included by default as there is no single way to obtain a CMYK quartet from an RGB triplet. Variations in paper and ink processes account for the various combinations of non-invertible matrices and look-up tables used in converting from RGB to CMYK. If you wish to obtain CMYK values for these colors, you will get appropriate conversion values from your graphics application when you define the type of ink and paper you will be printing on.
