Similarly, if we select a color blue, then we will assign colour value as:
Red = 00 (Nil) Green=00 (Nil) Blue = FF (Full)
The table given below shows codes of different colours and their corresponding hexadecimal
RGB values:
COLOUR Name HEX RGB Value COLOUR Name HEX RGB Value
Aqua # 00FFFF Black # 000000
Blue # 0000FF Grey # 808080
Green # 008000 Lime # 00FF00
Maroon # 800000 Purple # 800080
Red # FF0000 Silver # C0C0C0
White # FFFFFF Yellow # FFFF00
For example:
<BODY BGCOLOR = "Aqua"> or <BODY BGCOLOR = "#00FFFF">
In the above examples, both the values set the background colour as aqua on the screen i.e., in the
BGCOLOR attribute, either of the two i.e., colour name or HEX RGB values are accepted.
The following HTML code uses the BGCOLOR attribute to change the background color of the
web page:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
