Change font colour using css

April 23rd, 2008

Where did that red text come from?

Oikofugic Design

From the cascading style sheet

You might need to set youeself a style sheet at this point

Formatting text using css, we all know the basics, for example how to change the colour of a h2 tag.
Use the property color.

h2  {color: red;} in a named value or below as a hex value
h2  {color: #dd0000;}

If you want to mix it up a little and change the color of one word within the text you can enclose it in a span tag and style accordingly.

<span class="green">Inserted words</span>

CSS

.green {color: green;}

Next time: We look at font-family, how your text is seen by the browser.
