Migrating from familytree
This template is largely compatible with familytree, however there are a few rarely used "mixed" tiles that have been renamed. Please see here for a full list.

This method should be preferred over manually entering the hex codes, as it is clearer, uses less text, and eases any updates to the style in the future.
