Basics of HTML

All websites are made up of simple components: text files, graphics, and any multimedia.

Text files include files that end in .html, .htm, .php, .asp, or .cfm. You may always "view source" to see what a text file's code looks like. Graphics files are usually .jpg, .gif, or .png files. Multimedia files are usually .swf Flash files or movie files like .mov.

For colors, all colors are encoded like this:
#RRGGBB where RR signifies the amount of Red, from 00 (none) to FF (full red).
GG signifies the amount of Green,from 00 (none) to FF (full green).
BB signifies the amount of Blue, from 00 (none) to FF (full red).

For example:
#FF0000 = red (FULL on the "Red" part of the code)
#00FF00 = green (FULL on the "Green" part of the code)
#0000FF = blue (FULL on the "Blue" part of the code)
Black is an absence of any color, so: #000000 = Black.
White is FULL on all the colors, so: #FFFFFF = White.
Gray is a middle color, so: #333333 = darker gray, and #999999 = middle gray.

Do a search on "HTML Colors" in Google to get a color chart and choose your own color: here's an easy chart: http://www.w3schools.com/Html/html_colors.asp
