The right way to set the base font color
Use CSS for all font styling. The color property is used to define the font color, usually using hex color or RGB color values. Setting the color in the body selector assigns that color to everything on a page (unless overridden by a more specific directive).
/* By Hex Color */
body {
color: #000000;
}
/* By RGB Value */
body {
color: rgb(0,0,0);
}
/* By Common Name */
body {
color: black;
}
Specifying colors by hex-number is, by far, the most common.
