Body Tag
The <BODY> tag has several attributes that affect the look of the content on the page. These attributes include the background image, background color, font color, and link colors.

When adding color to you page, please keep in mind that you should select a font color that is contrasting to the background image or color, else your text will be difficult to see. Also, try to keep away from wild or very busy background images which can also make reading text difficult for your visitors. (See Tips #3)

You can either specify a browser dependent color name or a specific color using the hexadecimal format: #RRGGBB .

Example:
Specific name: lightseagreen
Hexadecimal color: ##20B2AA
