    HTML - Colors

    Colors are very important to give a good look and feel to your website. You can specify colors on the page
    level using the <body> tag or you can set colors for individual tags using the bgcolor attribute.
    The <body> tag has the following attributes which can be used to set different colors −
     bgcolor − sets a color for the background of the page.
     text − sets a color for the body text.
     alink − sets a color for active links or selected links.
     link − sets a color for linked text.
     vlink − sets a color for visited links − that is, for a linked text that you have already clicked on.

    HTML Color Coding Methods


    There are following three different methods to set colors on your web page −
     Color names − You can specify color names directly like green, blue, or red.
     Hex codes − A six-digit code representing the amount of red, green, and blue that makes up the
    color.
     Color decimal or percentage values − This value is specified using the RGB ( ) property.
    Now we will see these coloring schemes one by one.

    HTML Colors - Color Names

    You can specify direct a color name to set text or background color. W3C has listed 16 basic color names that
    will validate with an HTML validator but there are over 200 different color names supported by major
    browsers.
    Note − Check a complete list of HTML Color Name.

    HTML Colors - Hex Codes


    A hexadecimal is a 6-digit representation of a color. The first two digits (RR) represent a red value, the next
    two are a green value (GG), and the last is a blue value (BB).
    A hexadecimal value can be taken from any graphics software like Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, or MS
    Paint.
    Each hexadecimal code will be preceded by a pound or hash sign #. Following is a list of a few colors using
    hexadecimal notation.

    Color Color HEX

    #000000

    #FF0000

    #00FF00

    #0000FF

    #FFFF00

    #00FFFF
    #FF00FF

    #C0C0C0

    #FFFFFF

    Example
    Here are the examples to set the background of an HTML tag by color code in hexadecimal −
    <!DOCTYPE html>

    <head>
    <title>HTML Colors by Hex</title>
    </head>

    <body text = "#0000FF" bgcolor = "#00FF00">

    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </body>

    </html>

    HTML Colors - RGB Values


    This color value is specified using the RGB ( ) property. This property takes three values, one each for red,
    green, and blue. The value can be an integer between 0 and 255 or a percentage.
    Note − All browsers do not support the RGB () property of color so it is recommended not to use it.
    Following is a list to show a few colors using RGB values.

    Color Color RGB

    rgb(0,0,0)

    rgb(255,0,0)

    rgb(0,255,0)

    rgb(0,0,255)
    rgb(255,255,0)

    rgb(0,255,255)

    rgb(255,0,255)

    rgb(192,192,192)

    rgb(255,255,255)

    Example
    Here are the examples to set the background of an HTML tag by color code using RGB () values −
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>HTML Colors by RGB code</title>
    </head>

    <body text = "rgb(0,0,255)" bgcolor = "rgb(0,255,0)">


    <p>Use different color codes for body and table and see the result.</p>

    <table bgcolor = "rgb(0,0,0)">


    <tr>
    <td>
    <font color = "rgb(255,255,255)">This text will appear white on black background.</font>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
