What is style without color? Tables 14.4 and 14.5 give information for managing color.
You can use these properties to create color for the document's background and fonts,
margins, borders, and more. The colors can be expressed with real names (e.g.,
red
,
blue
,
yellow
,
magenta
) or their corresponding hexadecimal values (e.g.,
#FF0000
,
#0000Ff
,
#ffff00
,
#ff00FF
).
