Change Text Color
| Remember that when you change the color of your type, you must be sure you are providing a high contrast with the background of your page. | ||
| You can change the color of all of the type on a page
or you can change the color of a selected section of type on a page.
You can also change the colors of your hyperlinks, active hyperlinks, and visited hyperlinks. |
||
To change the color of all of the text on a page,
|
||
![]() |
||
|
||
![]() |
||
| Note that the hexadecimal equivalent of the red, green,
and blue values of the color displays at the top of the color
picker box as you scroll through the color cubes.
If you prefer, you can type the hex values of your colors directly into the boxes on the Page Properties dialog box. |
||
If you want to change the color of only a specific selection
of text:
|
|
|
![]() |
||
| If you want to revert to the default color of any page element, click on the default button in the upper right corner of the color picker. |
|
|
| If you are not satisfied with the basic web page color
palette, click on the System Color button in the upper right corner
of the color picker.
The Windows Color dialog box will appear. |
System color button |
|
![]() |
||
| Choose from a wider variety of basic colors or set the
red, green, and blue values by hand by typing the hexadecimal equivalents
in the color boxes in the lower right of the dialog box.
To save your new color, click on Add to Custom Colors. The color will be added to one of the Custom colors boxes in the lower left panel. To apply your changes, click OK. |
||
| Remember that when you change text and background colors you must provide sufficient contrast between the text and background for your visitor to read the text on your site. Also bear in mind that your visitor may want to print out your web site; if so, avoid light text on a dark background. | ||
