Set Background Colors in Web Design

Video Transcript

"Now we're going to add a background color, and so I've switched up a logo that we had been working with a colored logo, and, or a logo with a colored background rather, and so let's say that we want to change the background color to match this kind of blue-green that I have right there, and so we go in. We've got body; we've got our text color set to black right now, and we want to go in after that, still within the body beginning bracket and add the letters BG color; background color, another equals, a quotation mark, and then the hexadecimal code, which this one has to be, happens to be B6A7. Well nope, that was wrong, hold on; it's A7A37B. I'm still not right, okay; A7A37B, okay, and then an end quotation, and there we go. We'll save that, and come over here and do a refresher, and that's the wrong color altogether, but you can see that I have changed the background color. I guess I have just written down the wrong code. I think this is actually supposed to be an E, instead of a B. Let's try that. Nope, not better, but we changed the background color, and I'll go ahead, and find that and fix it. There's another way to do this that would probably be a lot easier. We'll get to it later, but that's just to create a transparent gif to float over the background color."
