Formatting Text

The color attribute can take any of the following standard color names: black, white, red, blue, fuchsia, green, yellow, gray, aqua, navy, purple, olive, maroon, teal, silver, or lime.

Here is an example of how to apply one of these colors to text in a Web document:

<font color="red">This text will appear red.</font>

<font color="purple">This text will appear purple.</font>
