Since you are new, you should know exactly when to use the colors before seeing the coding. Once you get the proper concept of using that color, you can use it perfectly. Colors are accepted as as values, or part of their values by many of the Styles. They are accepted as color of background and border. In CSS there are five main ways to specify colors. You will also have to keep in mind that not to use the color names in your code, because they are non-standard. For giving the colors you will either have to use the HEX or RGB values.

In CSS, you can specify the colors in five main ways. In which, if you want to type the actual name of the colour, you can use the #rrggbb, #rgb the two rgb( ) syntaxes. The colors are defined in HEX, for the first two methods.

1. #rrggbb

• If you want Red, you can use rr = 00 to ff.
• If you want the color Green, then you will have to use gg = 00 to ff.
• You can use bb = 00 to ff, for the Blue color.

For Example : You can use the #b85c4f.
2. #rgb

• In this, if you want Red color, use r = 0 to f.
• For Green color, you can use g = 0 to f.
• If you want Blue color, then you use b = 0 to f.

For Example : #b54

If you have done the HTML, then you should know the basic colors. There are the 16 main HTML colors which are described below :
aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, orange, purple, red, silver, teal, white, yellow.
If you are using the CSS 3, then it defines many more colors. You can also use the inherit, which inherits the relevant color from the parent element. You can also make the backgrounds transparent.

According to me, if you want the description of rendering of HTML and XML documents on screen, then the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the best and suitable language for that purpose. The CSS uses the color related properties and respective values, if you want to color elements in a document. You will have to remind that in the Color Module there must be at least two interoperable implementations for every feature. For using the color you can use the CSS <color> value type. I have provided you with a syntax, that refers to a 'text' attribute on a body element to set the color :

body { color: attr(text,color); }

Before giving the colors to the links, you must know about the link properties. In CSS, there are four different selectors with respect to links :

• link
• visited
• active
• hover

Just like the normal text, you can specify whatever style you'd like to each of these selectors.
The following is an example for creating links that are both underlined and overlined.

<style type="text/css">
A:link {text-decoration: none}
A:visited {text-decoration: none}
A:active {text-decoration: none}
A:hover {text-decoration: underline overline; color: blue;}
</style>
