How to set font color in HTML?
We use the style attribute to set the font color in HTML. The style attribute specifies an inline style for an element, with the CSS property color. The attribute is used with the HTML
tag, with the CSS property color. HTML5 do not support the tag, so the CSS style is used to add font color. The tag deprecated in HTML5.
Syntax
Example
In the example below, we set the font color of the text inside the
tag.
DOCTYPE html> html> head> title>HTML Font colortitle> head> body> h1>Productsh1> p style="color:blue">This is demo content.p> body> html>
Example
Following is the example program to set font color in HTML.
DOCTYPE html> html> head> style> body < background-color: rgb(20,30, 1); >style> h1 style="color: azure">HTML Articlesh1> head> body> body> html>
Example: Specifying internal style
We can also specify internal style for an element, with the CSS property color to set font color in HTML. Following is the example program for internal style sheet to set font color in HTML.
DOCTYPE html> html> head> style> body < background-color: rgb(20,30, 1); >h1 < color: cyan; >style> h1>HTML Articlesh1> head> body> body> html>
Цвет шрифта HTML
Цвет шрифта на сайте можно задать при помощи HTML-кода. Для этого существует тег font. По определению, тег font служит некой «обёрткой» или «контейнером» для текста, управляя свойствами которого можно изменять оформление текста.
Тег font применяется следующим образом:
Конструктор сайтов "Нубекс"
Самый простой способ, как изменить цвет шрифта в HTML, это использовать атрибут color тега font:
Конструктор сайтов "Нубекс"
Здесь задается синий цвет для слова, обрамленного тегом font.
Но помимо параметра color, тег имеет и другие атрибуты.
Атрибуты тега FONT
Тег font имеет всего три атрибута:
- color – задает цвет текста;
- size – устанавливает размер текста;
- face – задает семейство шрифтов.
Параметр color может быть определен названием цвета (например, “red”, “blue”, “green”) или шестнадцатеричным кодом (например, #fa8e47).
Атрибут size может принимать значения от 1 до 7 (по умолчанию равен 3, что соответствует 13,5 пунктам для шрифта Times New Roman). Другой вариант задания атрибута – “+1” или “-1”. Это означает, что размер будет изменен относительно базового на 1 больше или меньше, соответственно.
Рассмотрим применение этих атрибутов на нашем примере:
Конструктор сайтов "Нубекс"
Мы применили тег font к одному слову, задали для него размер 6, оранжевый цвет и семейство шрифтов “Serif”.
Задание цвета текста при помощи CSS
Если вам нужно применить определенное форматирование (например, изменить цвет текста) к нескольким участкам текста, то более правильно будет воспользоваться CSS-кодом. Для этого существует атрибут color. Рассмотрим способ его применения на нашем примере:
.nubex < color:#fa8e47; font-size: 150%; >.constructor < color: blue; >.saitov Конструктор сайтов "Нубекс"
Здесь мы задали синий цвет для слова «Конструктор» (размер его, по умолчанию, 100% от базового), зеленый цвет и размер 125% для слова «сайтов», оранжевый цвет и размер 150% для слова «Нубекс».

How to Change Text Color in HTML – Font Style Tutorial
Joel Olawanle
Text plays a significant role on our web pages. This is because it helps users learn what the web page is all about and what they can do there.
When you add text to your web pages, this text defaults to a black color. But sometimes you will want to change the text color to be more personalized.
For example, suppose you have a darker color as the background of your website. In that case, you’ll want to make the text color a lighter, brighter color to improve your website’s readability and accessibility.
In this article, you will learn how to change the color of your text in HTML. We’ll look at various methods, and we’ll discuss which method is best.
How to Change Text Color Before HTML5
Before the introduction of HTML5, you’d use to add text to websites. This tag takes the color attribute, which accepts the color as a name or hex code value:
Welcome to freeCodeCamp. // Or Welcome to freeCodeCamp.
This tag got depreciated when HTML5 was introduced. This makes sense because HTML is a markup language, not a styling language. When dealing with any type of styling, it is best to use CSS, which has the primary function of styling.
This means for you to add color to your web pages, you need to make use of CSS.
In case you are in a rush to see how you can change the color of your text, then here it is:
// Using inline CSSWelcome to freeCodeCamp! // Using internal/external CSS selector
Suppose you are not in a rush. Let’s briefly dive right in.
How to Change Text Color in HTML
You can use the CSS color property to change the text color. This property accepts color values like Hex codes, RGB, HSL, or color names.
For example, if you want to change the text color to sky blue, you can make use of the name skyblue , the hex code #87CEEB , the RGB decimal code rgb(135,206,235) , or the HSL value hsl(197, 71%, 73%) .
There are three ways you can change the color of your text with CSS. These are using inline, internal, or external styling.
How to Change Text Color in HTML With Inline CSS
Inline CSS allows you to apply styles directly to your HTML elements. This means you are putting CSS into an HTML tag directly.
You can use the style attribute, which holds all the styles you wish to apply to this tag.
You will use the CSS color property alongside your preferred color value:
// Color Name Value Welcome to freeCodeCamp!
// Hex Value Welcome to freeCodeCamp!
// RGB Value Welcome to freeCodeCamp!
// HSL Value Welcome to freeCodeCamp!
But inline styling isn’t the greatest option if your apps get bigger and more complex. So let’s look at what you can do instead.
How to Change Text Color in HTML With Internal or External CSS
Another preferred way to change the color of your text is to use either internal or external styling. These two are quite similar since both use a selector.
For internal styling, you do it within your HTML file’s tag. In the tag, you will add the tag and place all your CSS stylings there as seen below:
While for external styling, all you have to do is add the CSS styling to your CSS file using the general syntax:
The selector can either be your HTML tag or maybe a class or an ID . For example:
// HTMLWelcome to freeCodeCamp!
// CSS p
// HTMLWelcome to freeCodeCamp!
// CSS .my-paragraph
// HTMLWelcome to freeCodeCamp!
// CSS #my-paragraph
Note: As you have seen earlier, with inline CSS, you can use the color name, Hex code, RGB value, and HSL value with internal or external styling.
Wrapping Up
In this article, you have learned how to change an HTML element’s font/text color using CSS. You also learned how developers did it before the introduction of HTML5 with the tag and color attributes.
Also, keep in mind that styling your HTML elements with internal or external styling is always preferable to inline styling. This is because it provides more flexibility.
For example, instead of adding similar inline styles to all your
tag elements, you can use a single CSS class for all of them.
Inline styles are not considered best practices because they result in a lot of repetition — you cannot reuse the styles elsewhere. To learn more, you can read my article on Inline Style in HTML. You can also learn how to change text size in this article and background color in this article.
I hope this tutorial gives you the knowledge to change the color of your HTML text to make it look better.

This wikiHow teaches you how to change font color in your HTML document. While the HTML font tag is obsolete in HTML5, you can use CSS to add color to your HTML page’s text. If you’re working with an older version of HTML, you can use the HTML font color tag as needed.

Note the text’s tags. For example, if the text is a header, you’ll see «» in front of it.
Add the «head» and «style» sections to the top of the document. You’ll do this by typing below the «» tag, pressing ↵ Enter , typing below the «» tag, pressing ↵ Enter twice, and typing in the closing tags for both. Your end result should look like this:
html> head> style> style> head> body>
Enter the «color» style tag. Click the space between the » » tags, then enter the following code (making sure to replace red with your color code and «» with the tag for the text you want to color):

You can use hex codes (e.g. #ff00ff), rgb codes (e.g. rgb(255,100,309) ), or web safe colors (colors that are just their name like ‘red’ or ‘black’). You can use colorhexa.com to get color codes.

As long as you are using a normal editor such as notepad, you can just go in and replace the word ‘red’ with the word ‘blue’.
