HTML BACKGROUNDS

By default, your webpage background is white in color. You may not like it, but no worries. HTML provides you following two good ways to decorate your webpage background.

HTML Background with Colors
HTML Background with Images

Now let's see both the approaches one by one using appropriate examples.

Html Background with Colors

The bgcolor attribute is used to control the background of an HTML element, specifically page body and table backgrounds.

Note − The bgcolor attribute deprecated in HTML5. Do not use this attribute.

Following is the syntax to use bgcolor attribute with any HTML tag.

<tagname bgcolor = "color_value"...>

This color_value can be given in any of the following formats −

<!-- Format 1 - Use color name -->
<table bgcolor = "lime" >
<!-- Format 2 - Use hex value -->
<table bgcolor = "#f1f1f1" >
<!-- Format 3 - Use color value in RGB terms -->
<table bgcolor = "rgb(0,0,120)" >

Example

Here are the examples to set background of an HTML tag −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Background Colors</title>
   </head>
	
   <body>
      <!-- Format 1 - Use color name -->
      <table bgcolor = "yellow" width = "100%">
         <tr>
            <td>
               This background is yellow
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>
 
      <!-- Format 2 - Use hex value -->
      <table bgcolor = "#6666FF" width = "100%">
         <tr>
            <td>
               This background is sky blue
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>
 
      <!-- Format 3 - Use color value in RGB terms -->
      <table bgcolor = "rgb(255,0,255)" width = "100%">
         <tr>
            <td>
               This background is green
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>
   </body>
   
</html>
