In HTML, default setting can be including in the BODY statement and can include background color done with BGCOLOR and text color done with TEXT. You can also change the color of links - LINK changes the color of the link, VLINK changes the color of the visited links - ALINK changes the color of the active link. We will see more on these when we have looked at links.
Let's talk about color - there is 6 digit hexadecimal code that is used to express color. Remember hex is the numbering system that goes from 0 to F. The first two digits stand for red, the next two green and the last two blue. of red, yellow, and blue.
THIS IS RED
THIS IS GREEN
THIS IS BLUE
THIS IS WHITE
THIS IS BLACK
Mixing and matching these results in different colors. For example
if I lower the amount of red, but still use no green or blue, I get this:
THIS IS REDish
If I lower the amount of blue, but still use no red or green, I get this:
THIS IS BLUEish
Play with the combinations and see what you get!
