HTML Color - bgcolor
The bgcolor attribute is used to control the background of an HTML elmement, specifically page and table backgrounds. Bgcolor can be placed within several of the HTML tags. However, we suggest you only use it for your page's main background (<body>) and in tables.
Syntax
<TAGNAME bgcolor="value"> Quick and dirty, here is how to change the background of your web page. Just use the bgcolor attribute in the <body> tag and you are golden.
HTML Code:
<body bgcolor="Silver">

</body>
