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 (talk) 23:55, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

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)

The official Pantone website lists the closest hex code (e.g. 97D700) to every Pantone colour. --GrantHarding (talk) 19:44, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

So, it's accurate and it can make the page look better. I'm for it! But what about the Muppets Tonight style guide? Some of the colors are listed by percentages. -- Tony (talk) 19:55, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
