Samples

Blue
#0000FF

We strongly recommend adding a <ref></ref> to the main title, e.g.:

{{color swatch|#0000FF|Blue<ref>[http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#h-6.5 HTML 4.01 Specification]</ref>}} creates:

Blue
#0000FF

Optional parameters – floating left, and an internal caption:

{{color swatch|#0000FF|Blue|left|#0000FF}} creates:

#0000FF

Blue

Change the internal caption's color with a fifth value:

{{color swatch|#0000FF|Blue|left|#0000FF|white}} creates:

#0000FF

Blue
