HTML Colors

This lesson is part of HTML · All levels

Summary

The color in HTML can be expressed in three ways: color names such as red, hexadecimal codes such as #ff0000, or functions such as rgb(255, 0, 0) and hsl(). The color is usually applied via the CSS color property for text and background-color for background. Contrasting color selection is also important to keep text easy to read.

Key points

Three ways to write color: name, hexadecimal, and (#rrggbb)
Color set the color text, background-color set the color background
hexadecimal is composed of pairs of red, green, and blue values
Make sure the contrast between text and background is enough to make it easy to read
