Colors
We can make headings and text in a variety of colors. We can actually do them in any of 16 million colors, but it’s easier if we use these common colors. This includes all 140 colors that all modern browsers recognize, and about 40 special ones that we use for our themes and such.
We can use the same colors as background colors, also.
