This page is a style and formatting guideline on GuildWars Wikia. It has general acceptance among editors and is considered a standard to which articles should adhere. However, it is not set in stone and should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception.

Shortcut: GW:COLORS

This article provides a guideline to standard colors to use when highlighting sections of an article based upon profession referenced.

Standard color usageEdit

Each profession is identified by a unique icon for that profession. In GuildWiki, the community has selected standard colors to use within articles to represent these professions as well.

Profession		Background color	Border line color	color template
	Warrior	#FF8	#EA3	Template:W-color
	Ranger	#CF9	#5A0	Template:R-color
	Monk	#ACF	#44B	Template:Mo-color
	Necromancer	#9FC	#0A5	Template:N-color
	Mesmer	#DAF	#80A	Template:Me-color
	Elementalist	#FBB	#B33	Template:E-color
	Assassin	#FCE	#A08	Template:A-color
	Ritualist	#BFF	#0AA	Template:Rt-color
	Paragon	#FC9	#960	Template:P-color
	Dervish	#DDF	#77C	Template:D-color
	none	#DDD	#666	Template:X-color

TemplatesEdit

In order to simplify the usage of the standard colors and eliminate the need to memorise the codes, the community has also implemented templates to represent each color for each profession. These templates can be used to simplify the insertion of the standard colors into articles. Here is the usage structure for the templates (the template W-color is used in the example):

{{W-color|xxx}}

Where xxx is one of the following values:

• light
• background (same as light)
• dark
• border (same as dark)

Note: if not specified, the default value is light
