  • background - the background colour of name parameter, either as a "colour name" (e.g. forestgreen), a hexadecimal value (e.g. #0093cf), or a colour template (e.g. #{{C2C colour}}). If the background is dark, please change the text colour by appending the CSS color selector. (e.g. background = black;color:white or background = #806040;color:#ffffdd ).
