Color Me #FFCC33

COLORS ON THE WEB
Color can be your friend, especially on a web page. Yes, you usually only have 216 "web-safe colors" to play with (and some of those are, er, uh, well, pretty nasty...) but you can include color without really increasing the file size of a page.

And sometimes a little splash o' color can liven things up, draw attention to something important...

... or be used to separate some other text
from the rest of the message.

There are several ways to "set" the color of an element of a web page. The easiest is to use a program to do it for you -- almost all of the HTML editors have some sort of "color picker," and an HTML color picker is built in to the MacOS. The hardest way to do it is with Hexidecimal numbers (like #FFCC33), and we're not getting into that here. Look on the Web.

You can set the background color of a page, the text on that page, links, backgrounds of cells in tables, etc. Just don't overdo it.
