I would like to import the Colour Box Template from Wikipedia ([1]), but I have no idea how to do such a thing or if it's even possibe. --GrantHarding (talk) 23:43, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

What would we use it for? - Shane

I want to use it to create little colour boxes next to the numbers on Sandbox:Pantone. --GrantHarding (talk) 02:19, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

To elaborate: This is what I've managed to do with Elmo and Kermit, by colouring cells in the table.

Elmo	Fur:	032
	Mouth:	Black
	Nose:	151
Kermit the Frog	Skin:	375
	Collar:	382
	Mouth:	185
	Tongue:	212

That works well enough for characters like them who have a limited palette. But for characters with a lot of different colours, or whose colours have changed over the years, it would be much more helpful to have little colour boxes that are in line with the text. --GrantHarding (talk) 18:23, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Hmm, interesting. It looks a lot better than all of those citation labels, which could be condensed in some way, like a sources list at the bottom. I like the idea of the smaller boxes, but how do you know those square colors are accurate? Is there any way to alter the coloring to the Pantone reference? -- Tony (talk) 19:12, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
