Sets foreground and background [[web colors|colors]] of a given text. They can be specified by name or in the format #dddddd (RGB hex triplet).

Unless in the case of personal use on a user page, use this template with great caution:
a poor contrast may make the text difficult or impossible to read
the contrast can be experienced as even poorer in the case of [[color blindness]]
links have a color according to user settings; they become invisible if this color is equal to the background color
