Markup	Renders as
`{{ font color \| white \| blue \| Wikipedia:Example \| link = yes }}`	Wikipedia:Example
`{{ font color \| white \| blue \| Wikipedia:Example \| link = Wikipedia:Sandbox }}`	Wikipedia:Example
`{{ font color \| text = Wikipedia:Example \| link = Wikipedia:Sandbox \| bg = blue \| fg = white }}`	Wikipedia:Example

The |link= parameter is a good way to colorize wikilinks, and it is about as much typing as the pipe trick.

Although a wikilink accepts a font color (or other template or markup):

Template:BigWikipedia:ExampleTemplate:Big{{font color|white|blue|the Wikipedia:Example page}}Template:Big

a font color does not accept a wikilink, it creates wikilinks itself with |link=.

Green tickY {{ font color | green | violet | Wikipedia:Example | link=yes }} → Wikipedia:Example (a |link= {{ font color }})
☒N{{ font color | green | violet | the [[Wikipedia:Example]] page}} → the Wikipedia:Example page (Text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color)
☒N{{ font color | green | violet | [[Wikipedia:Exammple]] }} → the Wikipedia:Exammple page (Text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color)

For actual mainspace template usage, here are search links for
