Learn HTML the easy way - font colors

Today we are going to see how to use different color of fonts. Check this piece of code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Color Fonts</title>
</head>

<body>

<p><font color="red">This text is in Red</font></p>
<p><font color="blue">This text is in Blue</font></p>

</body>
</html>


You will notice this line <p><font color="red">This text is in Red</font></p>. color="red" will render the text in red. The are about 16 color names that can be use in html and css.

They are: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.

If you want to use other colors you must use there hexadecimal value(HEX value). for example:
<p><font color="#ff0000">This text is in Red</font></p> will render text in red.

Note: 0000 are zeros.

Hex value can be use in ant elements in html for example <body bgcolor=#000000> will give you a blank background color.

You can use software like photoshop to check HEX value of colors you want to use. To help you a bit more i had create this small table below:
