Plain colour backgrounds Silver Gray Black White WARNING - Not everyone can see these named colours. 2. Colours which you mix yourself You can mix any color you want by using RGB codes. The HTML code is written as XXXXXX can be any combination of numbers from 0 to 9 or letters from A to F The first two digits define the amount of red light in the colour The middle two digits define the amount of green light in the colour The last two digits define the amount of blue light in the colour 00=none FF=maximum ● FFFFFF=white ● 000000=black ● FF0000=red ● 00FF00=green ● 0000FF=blue ● FFFF00=yellow If this seems a bit odd, remember you are mixing LIGHT, not paint! Try experimenting with your own combinations. Here are some to try. The pale yellow of this page is #FFFFCC rich gold colour soft pink a yummy brown a wonderful blue/green elegant grey http://subnet.virtual-pc.com/li542871/bgcolor.htm (2 of 3) [8/20/2000 12:24:21 PM]
Plain colour backgrounds Style tips Bright colours can make a dramatic backgound for graphics. BUT if your page contains text, choose gentle colours Look how hard it is to read text on a bright fuchsia backgound! It is easier to read on a soft pink background Remember, other people's computers may show different colours to yours! Some people have true colour, some have 256 colours, some have only 8 colours. Some people use browsers which don't show up background colours. If you use white text on a black background, it may show up fine on most browsers. However, viewers with browsers that do not recognise text and background colours will see nothing at all! Trouble shooting ● Have you checked your spelling? Watch out for 'GRAY' (not grey) Use the american spelling 'BGCOLOR'. Now try this - 1. 2. 3. 4. Open one of your pages, and change the background color to blue Now try creating your own pale shade of blue. Try and make a pale green. How about making orange? Experiment and see what happens ...
