Color in CSS

The color property allows you to specify the color of text inside an element. You can specify any color in CSS in one of three ways:

• RGB values

  These express colors in terms of how much red, green and blue are used to make it up.

Values for red, green, and blue are expressed as numbers between 0 and 255

• hex Codes

  These are six-digit codes that represent the amount of red, green and blue in a color, preceded by a pound or hash ‘#’ sign.

Hex values represent values for red, green, and blue in hexadecimal code.

• ** Color names**

  There are 147 predefined color names that are recognized by browsers.

Colors are represented by predefined names. However, they are very limited in numbe

### It is important to ensure that there is enough contrast between any text and the background color (otherwise people will not be able to read your content)
