Set the Background Color
By Stephen Bucaro
Use the background-color property to set the background color for an element. You can define
the color by using the color name, hexadecimal notation, or the rgb tripplet method.
Background color set to #00ff00 - hexadecimal notation for "green"
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>
