Lesson 1: Basic HTML Tags
(Background and Text Color)

Controlling Your Colors
The <body> tag allows you to set attributes that control the background color and default text color for your document, this will insure that all visitors see your page in the same color theme. If your browser's default colors are the same as the colors you select, you may not notice a change when you set these attributes; however, it is very important to set these attributes in all HTML documents. If you don't, the background color and text color for your page will be controlled by the default color settings in the visitor's browser.
