You can't use a widget as the input to an attribute. Widgets are like HTML
tags. Just as you can't have an HTML tag inside (used as an attribute)
another HTML tag, you can't use a widget inside an HTML tag.
But you can use transclusion, due to the miracle of wikitext rendering. So
if you change your template to:
<font color={{!!colorcode}}>The quick fox...</font><br/>
This will work.
Good luck
