<TAGNAME ATTRIBUTE_NAME="ATTRIBUTE_VALUE"> Content </TAGNAME>
                 Thus, HTML tag consists of a tag name, followed by an optional list of attributes, all inside the opening
                 and closing angular brackets('<' and '>') of an opening tag.

                 Attributes used in the <BODY> Tag

                 In <BODY> tag, the following eight attributes can be used:
                   BGCOLOR                                  TEXT

                   BACKGROUND                               LINK
                   ALINK                                    VLINK

                   LEFTMARGIN                               TOPMARGIN

                 BGCOLOR Attribute
                 This attribute of <BODY> tag is used to set the background colour of the displayed screen. By default, the
                 background colour of the web browser is white.
                 Different colours can be obtained on the display screen by the combination of three basic colours namely,
                 red, green and blue. In HTML, each of these colours has a defined degree code that ranges from 00 (Nil)
                 to FF (Full) in hexadecimal form. The colour string is obtained by the combination of the code of each
                 colour i.e., red, green and blue, preceded by the symbol #. The syntax for using the BGCOLOR attribute
                 with the <BODY> tag is as follows:

                   <BODY BGCOLOR = "COLOR NAME" or "#RRGGBB"> </BODY>
                 Where ‘RR’ represents the hexadecimal value of red, ‘GG’ represents the hexadecimal value of green and
                 ‘BB’ represents the hexadecimal value of blue.
                         Notes

                         The BGCOLOR attribute is not supported in HTML5.




                 COLOR CODING

                 Coding of colour can be done as a combination of Red(RR), Green (GG) and Blue (BB) colour. These coding
                 are represented in ordered sequences of RR, GG and BB. For example: If we select a colour as Red, then
                 its red value is full, green value is 00 (i.e. Nil) and blue is also 00 (Nil).
                 Red=FF(Full)                             Green=00 (Nil)                        Blue=00 (Nil)

                 The resulting colour is red, so the red colour has the string (value) "#Ff0000".



                                               <BODY BGCOLOR     =“#FF0000               ”>

                                            RR (Red) = FF (Full)

                                         GG (Green) = 00 (Empty)
                                            BB (Blue) = 00 (Empty)
