This template in itself is not used. It acts as a container for specific colors:

• {{Element color/Alkali metals}} → #ff6666
  
• {{Element color/Solid}} → green
  

This color code can be used to set a color in a periodic table.

Table background

Notes:

1. This table background template requires a parameter.
2. Different from element cell backgrounds, they are not intended to be in a legend.
   

Usage:

• {{Element color/Table|header}} → #e0e0e0

The parameter spec is also the first unnamed parameter:

• {{Element color/Table|header}} → #e0e0e0
  

Available background colors for periodic tables
Usage: {{Element color/Table|header}}

Specification (1st parameter)	Alternative specification	Returns color	Note
title	caption	#d8d8d8
header		#e0e0e0
colheader	rowheader, subheader, colh, rowh, subh	#e8e8e8
mark		#f0f0f0
background	bg	#f8f8f8	Also the default return value
border		#a9a9a9	Equals predefined color "grey"

The default value (returned when the first parameter is not recognised) is background:

• {{Element color/Table|}} → #f8f8f8.

This default can be overridden by parameter:

• {{Element color/Table|default=#a0f4c0}} → #f8f8f8
  

The return values are complete color values to be used as a CSS style, including the # but not the ; character.

Alternative: simple template {{element color|...}}

All colors are also available via the simple template {{element color|...}}. That is, enter the nam as a parameter to the template:

• {{element color|alkali metal}} → #ff6666.

The outcome (color id) is the same. The template is a bit more lax for the input (any capitalisation accepted, also singular accepted).

Deprecated or unknown meaning

Do not use these color names. In general, it is advised to use a more specific, meaningfull color name. These color names are not used in main space, and most are redirected to an other color.

•    D Template:Element color/D → #aad26e Note: Historical (previously for years and eras), kept to ensure that old revisions do not appear broken.
  
•    E Template:Element color/E → #6cacde Note: Historical (previously for years and eras), kept to ensure that old revisions do not appear broken.
  
•    F Template:Element color/F → #fc86f6 Note: Historical (previously for years and eras), kept to ensure that old revisions do not appear broken.
  
•    X Template:Element color/X → #ffffff Note: Unspecific, redirected to Unknown (white)
  
•    Disambig Template:Element color/Disambig → #00fa9a Note: Not a legend color, unknown intention.
  
•    UnknownC Template:Element color/UnknownC → DimGrey Note: Unclear meaning. Redirected to Unknown phase
  
•    veryreactive Template:Element color/veryreactive → #FA8072 Note: Testing or sandbox.
  

Colors hardcoded

The same colors, with the same key, may be hardcoded in templates and pages:

• {{NavPeriodicTable/Elementcell}}
• {{Compact extended periodic table}}
• {{Infobox element/headers}}
• {{Compact periodic table}} (legend only)

Infoboxes with hardcoded series color (header background color):

• {{infobox ununennium}}
• {{infobox unbinilium}}

This is an 18-column periodic table layout, which has come to be referred to as the common or standard form, on account of its popularity. It is also sometimes referred to as the long form, in comparison to the short form or Mendeleev-style, which omits groups 3–12 by placing their elements into the main groups. The wide periodic table incorporates the lanthanides and the actinides, rather than separating them from the main body of the table in order to save space. The extended periodic table adds the 8th and 9th periods, including the superactinides.
