Template:Stat Color
Template:Stat Color returns the standard hex colour code for a named stat, so stat colours stay consistent everywhere on the wiki.
Overview
This template takes a stat name as its first unnamed parameter and outputs only a hex colour code (e.g. speed → #55ff55). It outputs nothing visible on its own — you place it inside a style="color:..." attribute or pass it to another template. It is case-insensitive and accepts several aliases. Unknown names fall back to white (#ffffff). It is used by Template:Stat Bar (and therefore Template:Stat Table) to colour stat bars.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required? | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
1 (first unnamed parameter) |
Required | The stat name to look up. Recognised values (case-insensitive): defense/defence → #5555ff; attack → #55ffff; speed → #55ff55; evasion → #ffff55; health → #ff5555; vitality → #ff55ff; crit/critical/crit chance/critical chance/critchance/criticalchance → #aa00aa. Anything else returns #ffffff (white). |

How to use
1. Write {{Stat Color| followed by the stat name, then }}.
2. Put that wherever a colour value is expected — most often inside a span style.
Special-syntax notes: the name is the first positional argument (no name=), and it is not case-sensitive, so speed, Speed and SPEED all return the same colour. Several aliases map to the same colour (e.g. defense and defence; the six crit spellings). A name the template doesn't recognise returns white rather than an error.

Attack
Wikitext that produced it:
<span style="color:{{Stat Color|attack}}">Attack</span>Used on its own, it just emits the code:
{{Stat Color|speed}} produces: #55ff55Tips & notes
- Case doesn't matter; aliases exist for defence/defense and for the six crit spellings.
- Unrecognised names return
#ffffff(white), not an error — double-check spelling if a colour comes out white unexpectedly. - The template emits only the hex code, so always wrap it in something that consumes a colour (e.g.
style="color:..."). - Related: Template:Stat Bar and Template:Stat Table both rely on this for their colours.
