Inserting Inline CSS The HTML Style Attribute • The style attribute can be used to set the style of a specific HTML element. • The syntax should be like this: <tagname style=“property:value”> HTML Background Color • The background-color property defines the background color for an HTML element. Activity 6 Activity 6 HTML Colors HTML Colors • In HTML, a color can be defined by using color names or RGB, Hex and HSL values. • Color Name: tomato • RGB Value: rgb(255, 99, 71) • Hex Value: #ff6347 • HSL Value: hsl(9, 100%, 64%) Colors Names • HTML supports 140 standard color names RGB Value • In HTML, a color can be specified as an RGB value using this formula: rgb(red, green, blue) • Each parameter (red, green, blue) defines the density of the color between 0 and 255. • For example, rgb(255,0,0) is displayed as red, because red is set to its highest value, and the others are set to 0. RGB Value • To display the color black, all colors must be set to 0, like this rgb(0,0,0). • To display the color white, all colors must be set to 255, like this rgb(255,255,255). RGB Value Hex Value • In HTML, a color can be specified using the hexadecimal value in the form: #rrggbb where rr(red), gg(green) and bb(blue) are hexadecimal values between 00 and ff (same as decimal 0-255). • For example, #ff0000 is displayed as red, because red is set to its highest value (ff) and the others are set to the lowest value (00). Hex Value HSL Value • In HTML, a color can be specified using hue, saturation, and lightness (HSL) in the form: hsl(hue, saturation, lightness). • Hue is the degree on the color wheel from 0 to 360, 0 is red, 120 is green and 240 is blue. • Saturation can be described as the intensity of the color, 100% is pure color (no shade of gray), 50% is 50% gray (but you can still see the color), 0% is completely gray (you can no longer see the color). HSL Value • Lightness is also a percentage, 0% is black, 50% is neither light or dark, 100% is white.
