Color Property
The Color property is used to specify the colour of text for various text elements in a web page. You can
specify a recognised colour name, a hexadecimal colour value, or a RGB colour value.

• Recognised colour names include red, green, yellow, pink, cyan, etc.
For example,

color: yellow

are components of the colour and have values between 0 and FF.
For example,

color: #FF00FF
• RGB colour values are specified as rgb (red, green, blue), where each colour value can be from 0
to 255 or a percentage from 0 to 100.

For example,
