In HTML, What Is a Color Tag?
A color tag is an HTML element which specifies the color of something, such as text, a border, or a background. The use of the color tag in HTML is largely deprecated in favor of using stylesheets, but most browsers will recognize color tags when they are used in the HTML on a page. In CSS, the color tag is used on a regular basis, and numerous CSS tutorials discuss how to harness the color tag to get specific looks and feels. When a color tag is used, there are a number of options for specifying color. One is simply to name the color, such as “black” or “blue.” Another is to use a six digit hexadecimal code which specifies a particular color, such as #FFFFFF for white, although people should be aware that sometimes these codes render differently in different browsers when it comes to obscure colors. Yet another option is to use an RGB color, in which the levels of red, green, and blue are specified, as in 0,0,0 for black.
