You can pass variables to stored templates using the arguments function (read the documentation for more info)

You should first modify your stored templates to look like this

Code:

program:
    arguments(date);
    now = format_date(today(), 'yyyy-MM-dd');

    if days_between(date, now) <= '1' then '#aaaaa'
    elif days_between(date, now) <= '3' then '#bbbbb'
    elif days_between(date, now) <= '7' then '#ccccc' 
    fi

Now you can call the stored template with the date argument as follows:
Code:
```
program:
    colours_daysbetween($#fanficupdated)
```
