Color

This module depends on the following other modules:

This module is similar to {{Color}} but for modules.

Makes text bold and colored, using game text colors or a custom color.

Usage

The first parameter sets the color according to the list below; the second parameter sets the text; the parameter backing applies a background effect if defined

color('red','text you want red') gives text you want red

color('green','text you want green',{backing=1}) gives text you want green

Text can be left unbolded by setting the parameter bold to normal; so color('red','unbolded text',{bold='normal'}) gives unbolded text

Numerical font weights can also be used as a CSS font-weight value.

List of colors

Victoria 3 defines text colors using percentage RGB (as 0-1); the following colors are pre-defined in this template and can be found in Victoria 3\game\gui/textformatting.gui

Color	key	rgb (/ alpha)
black	black	0% 0% 0% / 60%
blue	blue	41% 67% 74%
gold	gold	100% 67.4% 45.4%
green	green	39% 67% 33%
green	wiki_green	0% 128% 0%
light_green	light_green	25% 57% 45%
grey	grey	60% 57% 55%
red	red	88% 34% 34%
red	wiki_red	255% 0% 0%
white	white	94% 95% 88%
darker_white	darker_white	76% 74% 72%
yellow	yellow	100% 97% 66%

Custom colors can be used by defining any valid CSS color value. For example, {{color|#cc11cc|hexcode}} gives hexcode. Setting the parameter html or css to anything allows the use of CSS named colors that overlap the keys above.
