Set the background color of the page

css background-color property

Function: The background-color property sets the background color of an element.

Description: The background-color attribute sets a solid color for the element. This color fills the element's content, padding, and border areas, extending to the outer bounds of the element's border (but not the margins). If the border has transparent parts (such as a dotted border), the background color will show through these transparent parts.

Note: The attribute value "inherit" is not supported in any version of Internet Explorer (including IE8).
