This template is intended to visually indicate as age associated with some text via the background color, with older text being "hotter", and very recent ages green. This can be useful, for example, to show what entries in a list haven't had editor attention for a while.

The template currently has five tiers:

default background
younger than 1 year
lightyellow background
older than 365 days (1 year) but less than 2 years
yellow background
older than 730 days (2 year) but less than 3 years
orange background
older than 1095 days (3 years) but less than 4 years
red background
older than 1460 days (4 years)

Example usage

{{Color by age|July 4, 2012|This is some example text.|note=This is an optional note for the tooltip.}}

which will render as

This is some example text.

because the specified date is old enough to render red. It also uses the optional note that is appended to the tooltip.
