If you are going to change the color of the background for your page you just might want to change the color of the text as well. You will need the color names or numbers of the colors you want. These will be added to the <BODY> tag along with these attributes:
TEXT
controls all the text on a page that isn't a link
LINK
controls the color of normal, unfollowed links in the page. These are blue by default.
VLINK
controls the color of links you have visited. These are red or purple by default.
ALINK
controls an activated link - mouse button pressed but not released. These are often red by default.

The tag for the colors on this page are: <body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" link="#FF1493" vlink="#00FFFF">
