 Web Design - Stage 2: Using a Background Color |
| Add Or Change The Background Color |
|
If you want to use a background color on your page, you will need to begin by finding the <BODY> tag. Once you have found the tag, look for a command after the word BODY that says bgcolor="color" . It may look like this: <BODY bgcolor="gray"> Or the tag may have more commands inside and use hex codes, like this: <BODY text="#000000" link="#A6CAF0" bgcolor="#808080"> And of course, the command may not be there at all. If this is the case, add it by placing a space after the word BODY and then type the command, like this: <BODY bgcolor="gray" text="#000000" link="#A6CAF0"> Or if you don't have any other commands, just add it in like this: <BODY bgcolor="gray"> To change the background color, replace the word gray inside the quote marks with a color name or a color hex code. For a list of some common color names and hex codes, click here. So, if you wanted to change the background color to green, you would type: <BODY bgcolor="green"> Or you could use the hex code for green: <BODY bgcolor="#008000"> After doing this, your page will have a green background. Beautiful! Now just use any color you like in the command, and add color your pages! |
