Netscape/RGB Color Guide


Netscape extensions allow you to change the color of the document background, text and anchors. Colors are assigned with a pound sign followed by three sets of two digit hexadecimal numbers (00 to ff) to specify shades of red, green and blue which are combined to create the color you actually see e.g.

<BODY BACKGROUND="#C0C0C0">
sets the background color to gray, the default for most web browsers.
