Once you select a color, the text will be changed to that color. You can also specify a text color before you have typed any text and then whatever you type will be that color. One thing to keep in mind when selecting text color is whether or not the color makes the text easy to read. Certain colors only work well with certain background colors. For example, bright yellow is really hard to read on a white background.
Bright yellow is much easier to read when it is on a black background.
Another way to enhance your page is by changing the background color. If you are using a table to layout your Web page, you can change the color of the entire table or of the individual cells. To change the color of the entire table, first select the table. The entire table will now contain the background color you selected. If you would prefer to add background color to individual cells, then simply select the cell you wish to add background color to by placing your cursor in that cell.
