HTML Colors

HTML Colors

HTML Colors are used to give a decorative look to your HTML document. Colors can be added to the HTML document, using the BODY tag. In an HTML document you can also use the bgcolor attribute in the body tag to include Colors in your website.

The bgcolor attribute is used to add color to the background of your HTML document.

Background Control

The background attribute is used in the body tag to indicate an image file that can be used to tile the background of the HTML document. This will be added to the browser’s display window.

The method to use this tag is as follows:

<body background = “URL of Image that you want to tile the background of HTML document”>

The value that is assigned to the background attribute is the URL of the image you wanted to be the background. This has been done above.
