To give a page a background color, insert the BGCOLOR="color" attribute into the <BODY> tag. BGCOLOR must equal either a 6 character RGB number, or one of the 140 defined Netscape colors. An example of the use of this attribute would be as follows:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000">
This would cause the background color of the page to become black, which has an RGB number of 000000. The following tag would produce the same thing:
<BODY BGCOLOR="black">

To change the color of text on the whole page, insert the TEXT="color" attribute into the <BODY> tag. TEXT must equal either a 6 character RGB number, or one of the 140 defined Netscape colors. An example of the use of this attribute would be as follows:
<BODY TEXT="#FFFFFF">
This would cause the text of the page to become white, which has an RGB number of FFFFFF. The following tag would produce the same thing:
<BODY TEXT="white">
For a nice site that allows you to see what different background colors and text colors look like, try the Color Maker. Remember that some monitors are darker than others, so you should use highly contrasting colors whenever possible.
