The color property allows you to select the color of the text. The default is black.

The color value can be the keyword color name, the hex six-digit number (#FFFFFF), or the RGB three-digit value (255,255,255). There are sixteen standard colors in HTML:

aqua #00FFFF rgb(0,255,255)	gray #808080 rgb(128,128,128)	silver #C0C0C0 rgb(192,192,192)	navy #000080 rgb(0,0,128)

The Guru has also created a Color Chart that displays all of the named HTML colors. In addition the hexidecimal code is provided for 256 colors.

Code:
p { color: RGB(100, 14, 107); }
p { color: #E9ACB2; }
p { color: teal; }
