CSS has a lot of properties for formatting text.
Text Color
The color property is used to set the color of the text. The color is specified by:
- a color name – like “red”
- a HEX value – like “#ff0000”
- an RGB value – like “rgb(255,0,0)”
The default text color for a page is defined in the body selector.
Example
body {
color: blue;
}
h1 {
color: green;
}
Text Color and Background Color
In this example, we define both the background-color property and the color property:
Example
body {
background-color: lightgrey;
color: blue;
}
h1 {
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
div {
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}
