This template returns the element's legend color, to be used in HTML makeup:

{{Element color|Alkali metals}} → #ff6666
{{Element color|alkali metal}} → #ff6666

Overview

State of matter (font color)

Color attribute value (font color). The color number can be used (abused) as background color, but the key (legend) is not defined then.

A Solid → #000000
A Liquid → #008000
A Gas → #ff0000
A Unknown phase → #696969

A Solid (predicted) → #000000
A Liquid (predicted) → #008000
A Gas (predicted) → #ff0000
