This template can be used to standardize the colours used to represent Canadian political parties in tables, lists, and templates. Enter the jurisdiction and party name, and this template will produce the hex colour code for that party. In tables, this template can start a new row with one cell containing the colour and the next cell containing a wikilink to the article about that party.

A full list of available party names is at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Political parties and politicians in Canada/list of parties]].

== Usage ==
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''}}</tt> to get just the hex code (for use inside other templates)
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''|background}}</tt> to get <tt>bgcolor="''colour''"</tt>
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''|nohash}}</tt> to get the colour without the leading #
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''|name}}</tt> to get a wikilink to the party's article
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''|name|short}}</tt> to get a shortened wikilink to party's article (for use in tables)
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''|colour&name}}</tt> to get an inline text version of the party colour followed by a wikilink to the party's article
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''|colour&name|short}}</tt> to get an inline text version of the party colour followed by a shortened wikilink to the party's article
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''|row}}</tt> to start a new row with party colour as the first cell
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''|row-name}}</tt> to start a new row with the party colour as the first cell and a wikilink to the party's article as the second cell
*<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Canadian party colour|''Jur.''|''Party''|row-name|short}}</tt> to start a new row with the party colour as the first cell and a shortened wikilink to the party's article as the second cell

Where ''Jur.'' is the jurisdiction, being one of: CA, AB, BC, MB, NB, NS, NF, NL, NT, NU, ON, PE, QC, SK, YK, YT, EDM, MTL, VAN

== Example ==
<pre style="overflow: auto">
{|class="wikitable"
{{Canadian party colour|BC|NDP|row-name}}
| This is the common row-name usage.
{{Canadian party colour|MB|CoR|row-name|short}}
| Without the "short" parameter, this would have given the full name [[Manitoba Confederation of Regions Party|Confederation of Regions]].
{{Canadian party colour|BC|Liberal|row}}
| "row" allows custom text in the first cell.
| And, as usual, the second cell.
|-
| {{Canadian party colour|CA|PC|background}} | '''1867'''
| "background" allows text on the colour.
| Note that when using the "background" parameter you have to manually create new rows using <nowiki>|-</nowiki>
{{Canadian party colour|XX|Liberal|row-name}}
| This row uses "XX" for jurisdiction. Invalid jurisdictions (or jurisdictions without a party by that name) will sometimes find a default colour.
{{Canadian party colour|ON|Invalid text|row-name}}
| This row uses "Invalid text" as the party name. Invalid party names will default to the colour for independent candidates and will use the exact text entered when using the "row-name" function, including wikilinks. This can be used for parties that only ever run one candidate.
|}
</pre>
Will produce:
{|class="wikitable"

| This is the common row-name usage.
{{Canadian party colour|MB|CoR|row-name|short}}
| Without the "short" parameter, this would have given the full name [[Manitoba Confederation of Regions Party|Confederation of Regions]].
