For directions on how to use the 216 color cube and what you can do with it please see below



If you are in need of a particular color and don't know how to get your page to contain that color, the color cube is what you need. Simply click on a color you like or need and write down the number that appears the text box below the cube. To insert this into your page just add it to your HTML code. For example, if you wanted your background to be white with black text you would write your body tag like this:

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">

Additional properties can also be added to the body section of your code, for example:

link="#0000ff" added to your body tag will produce blue links throughout your page
vlink="#ff3300" added to your body tag will make all of your visited links red
alink="#ffff0" will make your link appear yellow as the user clicks on the link or in other words, as the link is active

The resulting body tag of the above properties would produce:

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#ff3300" alink="#ffff00">
