How to set background color in HTML?

Setting the background color of a web page or an element on the web page, enable us to create unique layouts for the web page.

To set the background color in HTML, use the style attribute, with the CSS property background-color inside the body tag of the HTML document.

HTML5 do not support the <body> tag bgcolor attribute, so the CSS style is used to add background color. The bgcolor attribute deprecated in HTML5.

We can change the background color by overriding the property with the other property.

Syntax

<body style="background-color:aquamarine;">

Example

Following is the example program to set background color in HTML.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body style="background-color:aquamarine;">
   <h1>HTML Articles</h1>
</body>
</html>

We can change the background color by overriding the property with the other color.

</body>
</html>

We can specify the background color with RGB value. RGB value indicates its red, green, and blue color intensity. Each intensity value is on a scale of 0 to 255, or in hexadecimal from 00 to FF.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <style>
      body {
         background-color: rgb(20,30, 1);
      }
   </style>
   <h1>HTML Articles</h1>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
