    You should use the background property and the color value that you want as your color. For example:

    body { background:#red; }

    This css code will give your page the color of red. Another example is:

    p { background:#blue; }

    This css code will give your paragraphs the background color of blue.

    When using the color name don't put the # before it.
    Only place the # when using the RGB color codes:
    Code:
    body { background-color: red; }
    With RGB color code:
    Code:
    body { background-color: #FF0000; }
    or shorthand:
    Code:
    body { background: red; }
    With RGB color code:
    Code:
    body { background: #F00; }

    Mimoun, you are right that the pound sign (#) should not be included in the value in these cases. It was a mistake on my part :(
