CSS Text

CSS has a lot of properties for formatting text

Text Color

The color property is used to set the color of the text. The color is specified by:

  • a color name - like "red"
  • a HEX value - like "#ff0000"
  • an RGB value - like "rgb(255,0,0)"

    • Look at CSS Color Values for a complete list of possible color values.

    The default text color for a page is defined in the body selector.

    Example

    body {
      color: blue;
    }

    h1 {
      color: green;
    }

    Text Color and Background Color

    In this example, we define both the background-color property and the color property:

    Example

    body {
      background-color: lightgrey;
      color: blue;
    }

    h1 {
      background-color: black;
      color: white;
    }

    div {
      background-color: blue;
      color: white;
    }

    Important: High contrast is very important for people with vision problems. So, always ensure that the contrast between the text color and the background color (or background image) is good!
