2,702 PointsWhat if I want to use Hex code to define color? I tried "color: #0000ff;" but it does not work.
I want to use Hex code for color instead, what will the command look like? What if I want to use the RGB color?
YUE YU
2,702 PointsDo you mean if I am using Hex code to style H1, I should write it like:
<style>
h1 { color: #0000ff; }
</style> <h1>YUE,YU April</h1>
This piece of code does not work. Can you tell me what went wrong?

5,175 PointsHey Yue,
If i'm understanding you correctly, you are wanting to set the color of the h1 with a hex value? If that's the case, the way to do it would be like this:
h1 { color: #0000ff; }
Just remember, if you are using a hex value to define the color of the h1, you CAN use an RGB value as well, however, whichever one is below the other in the code, it will over ride the first color, and that will be the predominate color. For example, if I was to do something like this:
h1 { color: #0000ff; rbg(0,0,255); }
This code would be pointless because the rgb is taking control because it comes after the hex color! Hope this made sense! Feel free to leave a reply if you would like further explanation!

color: rgb(0,0,255);
color: #0000ff;
