I am using the following HTML on a website:

<head>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#C0C0C0" TEXT="#0000FF" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#800080">
<marquee bgcolor="C0C0C0" font color="000000"><b>Welcome to the Bainon Family House! Its under contructiong</b></marquee>
</head>

And yet this part:

It isnt working for me. Should i be doing something different?

<style type="text/css">
body{background-color:#C0C0C0; color:#0000FF;}

<body>
<marquee><b>Welcome to the Bainon Family House! Its under contruction*g* </b></marquee>
</body>
</html>

Your code is completely incorrect. The body goes after the head not in it. All your design (colour of text, background colour ect) should be done using CSS not in the HTML document and you shouldn't use the marquee element, it's depreciated.
