Using a Background Color

There are attributes which can be added to tags that produce background and text color. Simply add an attribute to the <BODY> tag called BGCOLOR. To produce the background color that you see on this page use:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#e6e6ae">

Table cells can have their own backgrounds.

Versions of Netscape lower than 3.0 do not support background color in tables. If you cannot see the background color here that might be the reason.

If you want your table to have one background color (like the one you see here) simply add BGCOLOR="#8b864e" to the <TABLE > tag.
<TABLE BGCOLOR="#8b864e">

Table cells can have their own
font colors.

To change the font color in a table cell add COLOR="#e6e6ae" to the <FONT> tag (to see the color in the above cell).
<FONT COLOR="#e6e6ae">

Tables are fun!

Colors are cool!

To add color to individual table cells add the BGCOLOR and hexidecimal number to the (table data) <TD> tag.
<TD BGCOLOR="#a0522d">

bgcolor=red

bgcolor=blue

bgcolor=green

bgcolor=yellow

bgcolor=pink

bgcolor=purple

bgcolor=brown

bgcolor=black

bgcolor=orange

bgcolor=gold

bgcolor=silver

You can also use color names for the value of BGCOLOR.
