Black - #000000
Red - #FF0000
Green - #00FF00
Blue - #0000FF
White - #FFFFFF <= (White text).
(Note to self: You can't see white text on a white or light colored backgrounds)
In the RGB structure of each two digit combination, think of the "0" as the lowest possible digit and the "F" as the highest possible digit (greater than 10, actually 16). Though the "0" is actually darkest and the "F" is the lightest. So the possible color variables are great. Example :
Color #FF009C
Color #7510BB
Color #CD559A
Color #0005BF
You can also simply code by the color name like so: <BODY BGCOLOR="yellow">
Try several colors on your own and do it both ways a few times. Put any text on your "MyPage.html" that you want.
Now let's use an Image file as a background. There are two types of Image file formats you can use. They are ".gif" and ".jpg" files. The coding is simple, you need only specify the exact file address of the image file you want to use. It looks like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My first web page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="Images/Blue.gif"> This is my first web page
</BODY>
</HTML>
The new code is the file path to where the background image resides on your system, or on your web server. Create a sub-folder in your file folder "MyPage" and title it "Images". Copy the Image "blue.gif" into the new sub-folder. Just "click" your right mouse button on any spot on the blue background and save it in your "Images" sub-folder as "blue.gif". Copy any imagery you want into your new sub-folder. You can also use any imagery you want from other folders on your system when working off-line, you need only to specify the exact path to the file.
When you publish on the Internet you will have to keep it simple with no "File" address, only the exact folder the imagery will be stored in on your server. Play with the background imagery for a while. Keep in mind that the coding for the background image or color is always within the "<BODY>" tag.
