Adding Color to a Page

notepad

The opening body tag is <body>. Our opening body tag also includes a command that tells the computer what color to make the background of the page. That command is bgcolor="# ".

The combination of letters and numbers in the tag represent a specific color. They are apart of the hexadecimal color code. If you have not already done the lesson in hexadecimal codes, you will need to go back and do that first. To do so, click here. Knowing how the codes work will allow you to create the exact color you wish to use on the web, and not just for your background.

What color have I given this page? Type it in into your notepad and see; you can always go back and change the code to be any color you'd like. Then remember to type the closing body tag.
