== Suggested color guidelines ==
An initial attempt at creating some consistency - open to change...


;Warnings, notices, problems with an article: Red border, yellow (e.g. LightYellow) background. (e.g. {{tl|globalize}}). Pink background for more serious notices (e.g. {{tl|category redirect}}
See [[Help:Notices]] for more.
;Tags inviting participation: Probably use a nicer template than this one, perhaps with an image, or at least use nice colors :-).
;Class attribution notices: Undecided so far - possibly picking a set or range of colors for a particular institution (An alternative might be to have particular colors for particular subjects, e.g. Engineering or Architecture, but as the articles will be categorized, that seems unnecessary.)
;Maintenance templates: Light shades of grey (grey is the color of overalls... makes sense for maintenance? Or change to a more inviting color?)

Usage

Create one-off notices, or use to create a notice template for a specific purpose.

E.g. for a box with square corners

{{notice
|width=80%
|background-color=Wheat
|border-color=SaddleBrown
|radius=0
|headline=Blah blah
|content=Yabba dabba doo
}}

creates:

Blah blah
Yabba dabba doo

You can also create a box with rounded corners, e.g.:

{{notice
|width=80%
|background-color=#E3E4FA
|border-color=#993399
|radius=10
|headline=Hello!
|content=Join us - why not?
}}

creates:

Hello!
Join us - why not?

(If you leave out the "radius" term, it seems to default to a box with square corners, but it seems like good practice to always use the parameters, as in other cases it breaks the template.)

Choosing colors

Choose your colors from a "palette" such as the table at Wikipedia:Web colors#X11 color names.

Note that you can use hex codes for colors such as #F3F2E0, as in this example:

{{notice
|width=80%
|background-color=#F3F2E0
|border-color=#B5B380
|headline=Blah blah
|content=Yabba dabba doo}}
