Template:Rail color box is intended to be used within station and line infoboxes, diagrams, navboxes and tables to show a small color box and a link to the associated line or service name. Its use should be avoided within body text.
An identifier to specify which system's color and line article name convention should be used. Either Module:Adjacent stations/system or Template:system colormust exist, e.g. Template:RE-BB color or Module:Adjacent stations/Taipei Metro
line or 2
The line or service to be linked.

For systems where multiple colors are used to designate different lines, the appropriate color will be selected based on the combination of the system and line parameters. The same is done for systems where types or services have their own colors. Some options, such as setting the text color, border color, and the short name for the latter three, require the use of a module subpage. Each line can have its own values, as can each type. The table keys for line and type tables are the same: ["border color"], ["text color"] and ["short name"]. Note that the ["background color"] key is not used by this template.
