To draw just a color box with bg-color, use it like

• {{Color|1=#F0F|2=XX|bg=#F0F}} → XX   or   {{Color||{{0|00}}|bg=#0a0}} → 00   or   the shortest form {{Cbox|#CCC}} → 00

To just tooltip a text, use it like
The <u>{{color|#000|underlined text|title=tooltip example}}</u> is ''{{W|tooltip}}ped'' : 0 The underlined text is tooltipped.

It is also possible to define additional CSS data, e.g.
{{color|b|'''padded box'''|bg=#CFC|css=border:2px dotted #F80;padding:0 8px|title=CSS example}} → padded box
