This template might be used to color the background of a table cell; by the second parameter the text color can be specified. When the mouse pointer is located at the cell, the background color hex code triplet is displayed as a tooltip.

{{Coltit|RGB hex triplet of background color|RGB hex triplet of color|alignment letter|x=individual text}}

The template needs the colors hex code RGB or RRGGBB (not the color name); the 2nd parameters default value is 000 (black); possible alignement letters are: l (left), r (right) with default value center.
The parameter x= specifies a title text header different from its default value (color #).
