what's the best way to combine template:quote and template:color?

For the Pesterchats / dialoguelogs, you know. Or should there be a special template?

I'm not sure what you're asking for; you're able to nest them just fine. For example,


{{quote|I'm feeling so {{color|red|blue}} today. With my {{color|white|blue|background}}, it's understandable.}}


produces

I'm feeling so blue today. With my background, it's understandable.

Never mind, on looking at your edit, I see what you're asking about and why.

I did a couple empirical tests, and it appears that using hex color values doesn't work from inside the quote template. I think that might be because it gets stripped out at some point, much like the equals sign does -- possibly because it's a delimiter used in URLs. I tried to create a Template:# to function much the same as the existing Template:=, but (probably for this reason) the wiki doesn't offer a page creation option for it.

The best I can suggest is use the closest "word colors" -- blue and gray -- instead of hex values.
