CSS Text Color

The color property is used to set the color of the text. The color is specified by:

  • a color name - like "red"
  • a HEX value - like "#ff0000"
  • an RGB value - like "rgb(255,0,0)"


Text Color and Background Color

In this example, we define both the background-color property and the color property:

Example

body {

 background-color: lightgrey;

 color: blue;

}


h1 {

 background-color: black;

 color: white;

}
