{{Color}} generates a stylized color box that displays a color name or value in that color alongside a matching swatch. The color can be specified as either a CSS color name (e.g., royalblue) or a hex triplet with the # prefix (e.g., #4169e1). The color value can be passed either as the first positional parameter or via |color=. The color box automatically chooses either a light or dark background to maximize contrast, ensuring a contrast ratio greater than 4.58 and exceeding the WCAG 2.2 AA minimum of at least 4.5 for normal-sized text.
