the color by using the color name, hexadecimal notation, or the rgb tripplet method.

Color defined by hexadecimal notation:
<p style="background-color:#00ff00">Background color set to #00ff00 - hexadecimal notation for "green"</p>
Color defined by color name:
<p style="background-color:green;">Background color set using color name</p>
Color defined by using rgb tripplet:
<p style="background-color:rgb(0,255,0)">Background color set using rgb tripplet</p>
