There are several ways you can color text in Proteopedia pages. Not all methods work in all contexts.

Where To Use Each Coloring Method

Page Text can be colored by any of the first four methods below (as demonstrated below for each).
Captions for molecular scenes (green links):
- PDB file based scenes can be colored with
 - Span classes
- PNGJ file based scened can be colored with
 - Span classes
 - NOT Wikitext templates: NOT {{Font color|red|red text}}</nowiki) and NOT standard color scheme templates. Important: to '''Boldface''' colored text in captions, use bold. Wiki markup, three single quotes, does not work in captions. ==Color Scheme Templates== Standard chemical element or macromolecular color schemes can be inserted with templates. This is much simpler than constructing each one by hand as needed. See [[Help:Color Keys]]. But this method '''does not work''' in captions for molecular scenes (green links). Examples: {{Template:ColorKey_Element_C}} {{Template:ColorKey_Element_H}} {{Template:ColorKey_Element_O}} {{Template:ColorKey_Element_N}} {{Template:ColorKey_Element_P}} {{Template:ColorKey_Element_S}} {{Template:ColorKey_Element_Se}} {{Template:ColorKey_Element_Fe}} {{Template:ColorKey_Amino2CarboxyRainbow}} Methods for these and other color schemes will be found at [[Help:Color Keys]]. ==Wikitext Colors== This method is recommended for darker colors. (For light colors, color the background of black text as shown with other methods below.) To get {{Font color|green|green text}} or another {{Font color|#a569bd|more exotic}} text color, use the Template:Font_color, entering the color and the desired text, as follows: <pre>{{Font color|green|green text}} or another {{Font color|#a569bd|more exotic}}</pre> Colored text is more visible when bold. Surround the above codes with three single quotes, as follows: <pre>'''{{Font color|#00A0A0|Cyan}}'''</pre> which displays as '''{{Font color|#00A0A0|Cyan}}'''. ==Class Colors== Class colors work for both dark and light colors. Use like this that looks like this. This method works in all contexts but is limited to the pre-set color below. Available classes are primary , secondary , success , info , warning , danger , light , dark and white . You will use each class combined with text- to color a text, or bg- for the background. Another set of class colors available in Proteopedia: text-red, text-orange / bg-orange, text-brown, text-chocolate, bg-yellow, bg-yellowgreen, text-green, text-cyan, text-blue, text-magenta, text-violet / bg-violet, text-gray, bg-black text-white. Temporary test colors, proposed to be added classes: pink, olive, yellowgreen, lightgreen, lightcyan, cyan, lightblue, purple, NEWviolet/lightmagenta, lightgray. ==Span Style Colors== You can color using CSS spans: Red, which looks like this: Red. In addition to color names, you can use Red-Green-Blue [https://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.html (RGB) hexadecimal codes] following "#", for example Purple which looks like this: '''Purple'''. Span style colors also work for light colors, using a colored background with black text: Yellow. The "padding" makes the color extend slightly beyond the text, which looks better: Yellow. ==HTML Font Colors== '''NOT Recommended''' (here for historical reference). Coloring using HTML font tags is [https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_font.asp '''NOT recommended''' as it is technically not supported by HTML5]: '''Red''' which looks like this: '''Red'''. In addition to color names, you can use Red-Green-Blue [https://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.html (RGB) hexadecimal codes] following "#", for example '''Purple''' which looks like this: '''Purple'''.
