This template provides a simple and lean way to build a colored periodic table. Used in a wikitable, it produces a link to a element page and a background color.

Example Hg, in wikitable:

 {|
 |-
 | {{element cell-1|80|Y}}
 |}
Hg

It is suited for talkpages; for article space it may be too simple. Precoded PTs for copy-paste are available:
