font Color

Links should clearly be identifiable as links to readers.
Refrain from implementing colored links that may impede user ability to distinguish links from regular text, or color links for purely aesthetic reasons. See the guides to editing articles for accessibility at contrast, accessibility and navbox colors.

Purpose

Font color keeps your article up to date with the latest Wikipedia:HTML5 recommendations.

It inserts the span tag attributes

style=background-color:
style=color:

for you so your page increases its readability and usability in the wikitext and its rendering.

Usage

Parameters

Or

{{font color|||}}

Examples

The |link= parameter is useful where a link is placed in a colored header such as a navbox. For example, if the header was blue, you would leave the background color blank and set the font color to white. |link=yes sets the link to the text, otherwise it is set to the value of |link=.
