Syntax

{{BrewerColors|color palette|number of colors|show the color number}}

The number of colors must be from 3 to 9 or 12, according to the palette.

Show the color number is an optional parameter, with two values: '-' the color number and 'a' with the degree of transparency (alpha channel) added at the end of the number and always it will be 'ff'. It is only interesting to add the color for the map coloring.
