This makes no sense!
No matter what code I put in I can’t make my words in color I tried <style>
p { font-color:red} it don’t work I tried everything, went to every HTML page but all they do is give out numbers like 111666 why don’t they make it simple like <color red> like they do when using bold <b> text </b>
What good dose the #111199 color codes do if there’s no tag to put in front of them? I been trying to add color to my righting for over a week now but none are working

:(

Your style is wrong. It should look like this:

<style type="text/css">
p {
color : red;
}
</style>

you could also do this...

<body bgcolor="color name" text="color name" link="corlor name" alink=color name" vlink="color name">

Though you can specify colours and fonts in <body> and <font>, it is much better practice to use style sheets (CSS). The attributes you mention are deprecated, and CSS allows much greater control. Also, if you want to redesign the site, with external CSS you don't have to change every <font> tag by hand.
