Background color can be expressed in HTML in two ways. The simpler, more limited, of the two is to describe it using one of the 16 `verbal' color notations that are based on the original Windows VGA palette:
Aqua
Black
Blue
Fuchsia
Gray
Green
Lime
Maroon
Navy
Olive
Purple
Red
Silver
Teal
White
Yellow
Background color is an attribute of the <BODY> tag and is expressed:
<BODY BGCOLOR=PURPLE>
It can also be expressed as a 6-character RGB Hex value such as:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#238E23"> which yields `Forest Green' or
<BODY BGCOLOR="#9F5F9F"> which yields `Blue Violet'
These Hex values can be gotten from existing lists, or very easily generated for any color using applications like WebColor or ColorMeister, which even generate all the necessary HTML that can be copied and pasted into the desired HTML document.
