Font Color

updated your site?

Coloring Your Fonts

<body text=?> sets the font color

<body link=?> sets the color of links

<body vlink=?> sets the color of followed links

<body alink=?> sets the color of links on click

<font color=?> changes font color

</font> returns font to default color

There are two ways to color text on the Web. One is to set the colors for the entire document - specified in the body tag - and the other is to set and change colors as you move through the document, using the font tag.

The body tag is often more practical than the font tag, and it's also supported by more browsers.

Using the body tag, you can set the color scheme for your entire page, specifying the colors for regular text, links (normally blue by default), and followed links. Color is specified by using a numerical code.

If you type:

<body text=#009900 link=#0000FF vlink=#FF0000 alink=#111111>

You will get a nearly illegible, but correctly colored page, with green text and blue links that turn white, on click, and red after they've been followed.

If you write in your HTML file:

<font color=#0000ff>blue</font> with envy.

You'll get:

blue with envy.

You could even change the color of individual letters

Will give you:

As USUAL with all Netscape-specific tags, you should keep in mind that not all browsers support all font colors.
