There are too many colors to choose from for background in Netscape. I use only twelve of them. Colors one to six provide very good readability. Use sparingly the others, for they are too bright as background. The general format of the background color tag is:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#5500EE" vlink="#FF0100" alink="#551A8B">
Color | bgcolor | text | link | vlink | alink |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
01 | FFFFFF | 000000 | 5500EE | FF0100 | 551A8B |
02 | FFFFFA | 000000 | 5500EE | FF0100 | 551A8B |
03 | FFFFD1 | 000000 | 5500EE | FF0100 | 551A8B |
04 | FFFFF0 | 000000 | 5500EE | FF0100 | 551A8B |
05 | FFCC66 | 000000 | 5500EE | FF0100 | 551A8B |
06 | FFCC33 | 000000 | 5500EE | FF0100 | 551A8B |
07 | FF9966 | 000000 | 5500FF | FF0100 | 551A8B |

09 | 57FFF0 | 000000 | 5500EE | FF0100 | 551A8B |
10 | 0000EE | FFFFFF | FF0000 | FFFF00 | 551A8B |
11 | FFCCCC | 000000 | 5500EE | FF0100 | 551A8B |
12 | FF0000 | FFFFFF | 5500EE | FF0100 | 551A8B |
