Color is a great tool for helping to make your community stand out as well as match your wiki's topic and theme.
Step by step
Color can be added to your community in a couple of different places. For example, you can use unique colors in the theme designer to customize your look or add color to your community's templates via CSS.
The most common way to define a color is to use its name or hex code. To use a particular color, take the name or hex code below and add it where appropriate. For example, if you want to add it as a button color in the Theme Designer, copy the hex code of that color, then add it to the input field on the Customize tab.
Hex values are generally more flexible than color names, as they allow a very wide range of shades. More information about how these work can be found on Wikipedia.
Color names
There are two main types of color names that are preferred, HTML and X11.
HTML color names
The HTML 4.01 specification[1] defines sixteen named colors, as follows (names are defined in this context to be case-insensitive; the table is alphabetically ordered):
Color | Hexadecimal | Color | Hexadecimal | Color | Hexadecimal | Color | Hexadecimal |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
cyan | #00FFFF | green | #008000 | navy | #000080 | silver | #C0C0C0 |
black | #000000 | gray | #808080 | olive | #808000 | teal | #008080 |
blue | #0000FF | lime | #00FF00 | purple | #800080 | white | #FFFFFF |
fuchsia | #FF00FF | maroon | #800000 | red | #FF0000 | yellow | #FFFF00 |
These 16 were also specified as sRGB and included in the HTML 3.0 specification.
Fluorescent colors
The neon colors are a typical type of colors that glow on certain pages depending on what color the theme is used through the Theme Designer:
Color | Hexadecimal | Color | Hexadecimal | Color | Hexadecimal |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rainshower | #C9FFE5 | Screamin' Green | #66FF66 | Blizzard Blue | #A3E3ED |
Purple Pizzazz | #FE4EDA | Psychedelic Purple | #FA00FF | Electric Violet | #8B00FF |
Harlequin | #3FFF00 | Sunglow | #FFCC33 | Bubbles | #E7FEFF |
Electric Lime | #CCFF00 | Razzle Dazzle Rose | #FF33CC | Snowy Mint | #D6FFDB |
Electric Purple | #BF00FF | Flamingo Pink | #FF66FF | Hot Magenta | #FF00CC |
Infra Red | #FF496C | Neon Carrot | #FFA343 | Laser Lemon | #FFFF66 |
Chartreuse Yellow | #DFFF00 | Phlox | #DF00FF | Shocking Pink | #FC0FC0 |
Veronica | #A020F0 |
X11 color names
In addition, a wide range of "X11 colors" are defined by web browsers.
A large, helpful list of usable color names and equivalent hex codes can be found on Wikipedia.[2][3]
