|-
! k 
| Black CMYK color space coordinate
|-
! colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" |  HSV parameters (optional)
|-
! h 
| Hue HSV color space coordinate. Enables the display of HSV coordinates.<br>Use the unit [[Degree (angle)|Degree]].<br>If you use other units, see "[[#Conversion of some common angles (For Parameter h (hue))|Conversion of some common angles (For Parameter h (hue))]]".<br>
|-
! s 
| Saturation HSV color space coordinate
|-
! v 
| Value HSV color space coordinate
|-
! colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" |  Variation samples (optional)
|-
! variations 
| If set include some samples of variations.
|-
! variationstitle
| Used for the title of the variations section, otherwise "Some variations of title" is used.
|-
! variation''N''
| Name of the Nth variation, where N is between 1 and 8.
|-
! variation''N''color
| Color used for variationN, defaults to the web color of the same name.
|-
! colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" |  Other parameters
|-
! bgcolor
| (Optional) Color in hex format used for background behind the name of the color. Defaults to value specified by the hex parameter.
|-
! caption
| (Optional) Appears under image, if specified.
|-
! caveat 
| (Optional) Additional text to display at the bottom of the infobox.
|-
! colorspace 
| (Optional) Colorspace of this color.
|-
! hex 
| Color in hex format, also used as default for bgcolor unless present. 
|-
! image
| (Optional) Name of an image to display. Do not use wikicode: use the format <code>image=Image:Example.jpg</code>
|-
! isccname
| (Optional) Display ISCC–NBS System of Color Designation color category
|-
! nocoords
| Disable the display of color coordinates if set. Only title and optionally picture, spectral coordinates, symbolism and the caveat will be displayed.
|-
! source 
| Source for these color coordinates. See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Color/Sources for Color Coordinates]]. 
|-
! spelling 
| (Optional) For articles standardised to the British spelling this can be set to "Colour". The word "colour" is case-insensitive.
|-
! textcolor 
| (Optional) Colour in which to show the name of the colour. Should be set to white if "hex" is a dark colour, or else not set.
|-
! title 
| Name of the color
|}

==Notes==
===Color/Colour spelling===
For articles standardised to British spelling, add the parameter <code>spelling=Colour</code>. The word "colour" is case-insensitive.

===CMYK values===
Note that CMYK values are not included by default as there is no single way to obtain a CMYK quartet from an RGB triplet. Variations in paper and ink processes account for the various combinations of non-invertible matrices and look-up tables used in converting from RGB to CMYK. If you wish to obtain CMYK values for these colors, you will get appropriate conversion values from your graphics application when you define the type of ink and paper you will be printing on.
