You can create colors with HTML simply on your Website using only a few snipets of code.
Just insert the code for your selected color following the tag "bgcolor" inserted after the "body" tag at the beginning of your HTML document.
The three numerical pairs in the six digit code represent the red, green and blue "hex values" from which all colors are made.
For example the code for a red background on your Website would look like this:
<body bgcolor="#FF0000">
A wide variety of color combinations is available, but for beginners it's probably best to keep a color chart handy showing the hundreds of combinations possible.
Use color sparsely and remember that colorful backgrounds can often make it more difficult to read text.
It is also possible to add color to text, links or portions of text (more on this in future posts) but the rule of thumb should always be easy reading. Below, more on adding color using a Firefox browser from OG Solution. Enjoy!:
this was one of the hardest things to comprehend when learning web design. learning the basic html codes and colors.
