To change the color of both text and background. You can use the color property and for the background you use background-color. Both the color and background-color properties take the values of color keywords, hexadecimal, rgb, and hsl.

Below I'm using color keywords.

#gallery li {
  color: white; /* text color */
  background-color: gray; /* background color */
}
