There are two ways to color text on the Web.◦ Body tag - Sets the colors for the entire document◦ Font tag - Sets and changes colors as you move through

the document <body text=?> - Sets the font color <body link=?> - Sets the color of links <body vlink=?> - Sets the color of followed links <body alink=?> - Sets the color of links on click - Changes font color - Returns font to default color

Using the body tag, you can set the stage for your entire document, specifying the colors for regular text, links (normally blue), and followed links (usually red).

Information from http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/6658/fontcolo.html

To change link colors: ◦ Type <body text=#9932cd link=#ff0000 vlink=#00ff00

alink=#000000>◦ You’ll get a nearly illegible, but correctly colored page,

with green text and red links that turn black on click, and violet after they've been followed.

What if you only want to color a single word? ◦ Type green with envy. ◦ You'll get: green with envy.

You could even change the color of individual letters, if you really wanted to: ◦ Type T E C H

◦ You’ll get T E C H

11

TEXTChanges the color of the text on the page. This is an overall change and can only be done once on a page.

LINKChanges the color of the links you have on your page BEFORE a guest on your page "clicks" on them to visit.

ALINKChanges the color of an Active Link, or how a link looks when it is being clicked.

VLINKChanges the color of a Visited Link, or how a link looks to the guest if they have already been to that site.

Note: Make sure you don't leave the link colors unreadable on your colored background. If you are changing the background color or using a background image, make sure that your visitors can see your links and your text.
