Font Colors

As discussed in Chapter 3, the CSS color property is used to change the color of any item in the foreground of a web page, including text. Alternatively, the background-color property is used to change the color of anything in the background of a web page. This means you can attach two color characteristics to a single paragraph, for instance. The following code shows how this might be done to add a yellow highlight behind some purple text with an inline style sheet.

<p style="color: purple;background-color: yellow;">Remember to bring your notebooks back to class tomorrow, because we will be starting a new unit in English Literature.</p>
