HTML Background
In this tutorial, we will learn about background color and background images in HTML with the help of examples.
Background
By default, the webpage background color is white.
Html provides two attributes for the background :
- Bg-color
- Background
bgcolor Attribute
- The bgcolor attribute is designed to control the background of the HTML page body and table background.
- The bgcolor attribute is not used in HTML 5.0 and later versions.
Syntax
<tag_name< span="">bgcolor = "color_value"></tag_name<>
The color value can be used in 3 different ways:
- Color Name – blue, green, white, yellow etc
- Hex Value – #f2f5a1, #45ab12, #a1b2c3 etc
- RGB Value – rgb(0,0,120), rgb(150,0,80), rgb(80,90,100) etc

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Image tag attr</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3 bgcolor = "#f3a1ba">This is colored background 1.</h3>
<h3 bgcolor = "#abd1c5">This is colored background 2.</h3>
