Show a gem of color

I found this post1 on how to make a shortcode which shows a given color. I’ve re-implemented it in two different ways.
The first is the shortcode color, which creates a small code+span element like this:
<code><span>some color-styled text here</span></code>

This shortcode, jewel has a bit more flexibility. I’ve re-implemented it in two different ways. The first is the shortcode color:

This is managed by the file layouts/shortcodes/color.html

There is also the color variant of this shortcode.
That’s managed through the file layouts/shortcodes/jewel.html
