Introduction:
In today's digital landscape, a visually appealing and interactive website is
crucial for attracting and engaging users. Web developers employ various
techniques to achieve this, including the use of images, colors, forms, and
multimedia elements. In this blog post, we will delve into each of these
aspects, discussing image formats, image maps, color schemes, HTML forms,
interactive elements, and working with multimedia such as audio and video
files. Along the way, we will provide relevant examples and explanations to
help you understand and implement these features effectively in your web
development projects.
IMAGES ON A WEB PAGE:
The <img> tag in HTML is used to show an image on a web page. The HTML
<img> tag is an empty tag with just attributes; no closing tags are used
in the HTML image element.
<img> has the following attributes:
- src: is used to indicate the image's path.
- alt: is used to specify an image's alternate text. It is useful since it tells the viewer about the picture's meaning and also because if the image cannot be displayed due to a network issue, this alternate text will be displayed.
- height: is used to determine the image's height.
- width: is used to specify the image's width.
- usemap: is used to specify an image as a client-side image map.
- ismap: is used to specify an image as a server-side image map.
- align: is used to specify the image alignment with value top, bottom, middle, left and right.
- border: is used to specify the width of image border.
Example of image in html:
Here's an example of how to include an image in HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Image Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Image Example</h1> <img src="example.jpg" alt="Example Image"> </body> </html>
In the above example, we have an HTML document that includes an image. The
`<img>` element is used to define the image. The `src`
attribute specifies the path or URL to the image file
(`example.jpg`), and the `alt` attribute provides
alternative text for the image, which is displayed if the image fails to
load or for accessibility purposes.
Make sure to replace `"example.jpg"` with the actual file path or
URL of the image you want to include. You can use relative paths if the
image is in the same directory as your HTML file or provide the full URL
if the image is hosted on a remote server.
Additionally, you can customize the `<img>` element by adding
attributes like `width` and `height` to control the image
dimensions, or use CSS to further style the image.
IMAGE FORMATS:
- BMP : Microsoft Windows produced the bitmap (.bmp) format, which is widely used on the internet because to Internet Explorer's popularity. Supports 16.7 million colors and is primarily uncompressed, making it somewhat big.
- JPEG : JPEG (Joint Photographers Expert Group) is a compression standard (not an image format) with the extension.jpg or .jpeg , .jpg. .jpg offers 16.7 million colors with a tiny file size, and is frequently used for high-color photography. However, when compressed, certain details are lost (lossy compression).
- GIF: GIF ( Graphic Interchange Format ) is a popular image format that loses no information when compressed (i.e. lossless compression). The disadvantage of.gif is that it only supports an 8-bit color palette, which means that each picture may only have 256 color's, making it unsuitable for images with numerous colors. Most importantly,.gif allows for animation; a single.gif file may contain several frames, which can then be played in order to produce an animation effect.
- PNG: PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an open-source image format that may be used for any sort of image on the Internet. File sizes are greater than.jpg (since compression is lossless). PNG allows for 16.7 million color combinations and 256 transparent color's. Suitable for images that just require a few color's. Low color depth data may be compressed into very tiny files.
IMAGE MAPS:
The HTML mapping image is a client-side image map with clickable areas in
an HTML document that act as hyperlinks. The HTML <map> tag is used
with the <area> tag to create a client-side image map. An image map
is made up of a picture with clickable regions. When you click on the
image, it will open to a new or previously selected location. The
<map> tag can include several <area> components, each of which
defines the area's coordinates and type. You may simply link any portion
of a image to other documents using the <map> tag without
splitting the image.
You must define the shape of the clickable region, and one of the
following values can be used:
rect - used to define a rectangular region.
circle - used to define a circular region.
poly - used to define a polygonal region.
default - used to define the entire region.
Example of image map in html:
Here's an example of how to create an image map in HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Image Map Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Image Map Example</h1> <img src="worldmap.jpg" alt="World Map" usemap="#map"> <map name="map"> <area shape="rect" coords="0,0,100,100" href="north-america.html" alt="North America"> <area shape="circle" coords="200,200,50" href="europe.html" alt="Europe"> <area shape="poly" coords="300,300,400,400,350,450" href="asia.html" alt="Asia"> </map> </body> </html>
In the above example, we have an HTML document that includes an image
map. The `<img>` element displays an image of a world map
(`worldmap.jpg`). The `usemap` attribute specifies the
corresponding map element to be used.
The map is defined using the `<map>` element with the
`name` attribute set to `"map"`. Inside the map, we have
three `<area>` elements, each representing a clickable
region within the image.
- The first `<area>` element defines a rectangular shape
(`rect`) with coordinates `0,0,100,100`. It is linked to
`"north-america.html"` and has an alternative text of "North America".
- The second `<area>` element defines a circular shape
(`circle`) with coordinates `200,200,50`. It is linked to
`"europe.html"` and has an alternative text of
"Europe".
- The third `<area>` element defines a polygon shape
(`poly`) with coordinates `300,300,400,400,350,450`. It is
linked to `"asia.html"` and has an alternative text of
"Asia".
When a user clicks on any of the defined areas within the image, they
will be redirected to the respective linked page.
Ensure that you replace the image file (`worldmap.jpg`) and the
URLs (`north-america.html`, `europe.html`,
`asia.html`) with the appropriate file paths or URLs relevant to
your project.
COLORS:
Colors play a significant role in giving your website a pleasing appearance. The <body> tag can be used to set color's for the entire page, or the bgcolor attribute can be used to set color's for individual tags.
The following attributes of the tag can be used to set different color's:
- bgcolor: specifies the color of the page's background.
- text: specifies the color of the body text is chosen by text.
- alink: specifies changes color of active or selected links.
- link: specifies the color of linked text is determined by the link command.
- vlink: assigns a color to visited links, or linked text that has already been clicked.
Methods of HTML Color Coding:
Color name: Color names can be specified directly, such as green,
blue, or red. W3C has listed 16 basic color names. Ex. Yellow, Red etc.
Hex code: Hex codes are a six-digit code that represents the
proportion of red, green, and blue in a color. A hexadecimal is a 6 digit
representation of a color as #RRGGBB Ex. #110033, #111111 etc.
rgb(): The rgb( ) parameter is used to specify color decimal or
percentage values. This property accepts three values: one for red, one
for green, and one for blue. The value might be a percentage or an integer
between 0 and 255. Ex. rgb(0,0,0), rgb(255,0,0) etc.
Example of color's in html:
Here are some examples of how to specify colors in HTML using different
methods:
1. Using Named Colors:
Named colors allow you to use predefined color names in HTML. Here's an
example:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Named Colors Example</title> <style> .red-text { color: red; } .blue-background { background-color: blue; color: white; } </style> </head> <body> <h1 class="red-text">This text is red.</h1> <p class="blue-background">This paragraph has a blue background.</p> </body> </html>
In this example, the CSS rules define two classes: `.red-text` and
`.blue-background`. The `color` property sets the text color, and the
`background-color` property sets the background color. By using the
named colors `red` and `blue`, we achieve the desired color effects.
2. Using Hexadecimal Codes:
Hexadecimal codes represent colors using a combination of red (R), green
(G), and blue (B) values. Here's an example:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Hexadecimal Colors Example</title> <style> .green-text { color: #00FF00; } .purple-background { background-color: #800080; color: white; } </style> </head> <body> <h1 class="green-text">This text is green.</h1> <p class="purple-background">This paragraph has a purple background.</p> </body> </html>
In this example, the CSS rules define two classes: `.green-text` and
`.purple-background`. The hexadecimal color code `#00FF00` represents a
shade of green, while `#800080` represents a shade of purple.
3. Using RGB Values:
RGB values represent colors by specifying the intensity of red, green,
and blue on a scale of 0 to 255. Here's an example:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>RGB Colors Example</title> <style> .blue-text { color: rgb(0, 0, 255); } .yellow-background { background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: black; } </style> </head> <body> <h1 class="blue-text">This text is blue.</h1> <p class="yellow-background">This paragraph has a yellow background.</p> </body> </html>
In this example, the CSS rules define two classes: `.blue-text` and
`.yellow-background`. The `rgb()` function is used to specify the red,
green, and blue values. `rgb(0, 0, 255)` represents blue, and `rgb(255,
255, 0)` represents yellow.
Feel free to experiment with different color values and adjust the
styles to match your desired color schemes.
FORMs in HTML:
An HTML form is a part of a document that contains controls like text
fields, password fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, submit buttons,
menus, and so on. An HTML form allows a user to enter data that will be
transmitted to a server for processing, such as a user's name, email
address, password, phone number, and other information.
<form> attributes:
- action: When a form is submitted, the action specifies where the form data should be sent.
- name: Specifies the name of the form.
- method: Specifies the HTTP method to use when delivering form-data. Get or Post is the option.
- target: Indicates where the response received after submitting the form should be displayed.
Syntax for creating form:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Form Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Form Example</h1> <form action="submit-form.html" method="POST"> <!-- Input fields and other form elements go here --> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required> <label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>
The <form> element is used to create the form. It has two important attributes:
action: Specifies the URL or path where the form data should be
submitted.
method: Specifies the HTTP method to be used when submitting the form, typically GET or POST.
Inside the <form> element, you can include various form elements, such as <input>, <textarea>, <select>, etc., to collect user input.
Each input element requires a corresponding <label> element to provide a textual description for the input. The for attribute of the <label> should match the id attribute of the corresponding input element.
In the example, we have included two input fields: one for the name (<input type="text">) and another for the email address (<input type="email">). The name attribute provides a name for each input field, which is used to identify the field when the form is submitted.
The final <input> element with type="submit" creates a submit button. When clicked, it triggers the form submission.
Ensure that you adjust the action attribute to the appropriate URL or path where you want to submit the form data. Additionally, customize the input fields and add additional form elements as needed for your specific form requirements.

INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS:
Anything on a web page that the user interacts with is considered an
interactive element. Consider an interactive element to be something that
forces the user to take action. You can use many types of form controls to
collect data using an HTML form which are nothing but interactive
elements.
Some very common attributes regarding form elements:
name : The name attribute is a unique identifier that is used to send
data via HTML form elements.
id : The id attribute is a unique identifier for HTML tags that
allows the browser to identify the element when it is displayed.
value : An <input> element's value is specified via the value
attribute.
One or more of the following form elements can be contained in the HTML
<form> element:
1) Text Input Controls.
2) Checkboxes Controls.
3) Radio Button Controls.
4) Select Box Controls.
5) File Upload boxes.
6) Button Controls.
7) Hidden Form Fields.
1. <input> :
The <input> element in HTML is the most often used form element.
Depending on the type attribute, an input> element can be presented in
a
number of ways.
The following are the various HTML input types:
- <input type="text"> : It specifies a single-line text input field
- <input type="radio"> : It specifies a radio button. A user can select ONE of a limited number of options using radio buttons.
- <input type="checkbox"> : It specifies a checkbox (for selecting zero or more of many choices)
- <input type="submit"> : It specifies a submit button (for submitting the form). A button for submitting form data to a form-handler is defined by the <input type="submit">.
- <input type="button"> : It specifies a clickable button
- <input type="password"> : It specifies a single-line text password field
- <input type="reset"> : It specifies a reset button that will reset all form values to their default values.
Example of form elements in html:
Here's an example of a form in HTML that includes different form elements:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Form Elements Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Form Elements Example</h1> <form action="submit-form.html" method="POST"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required><br> <label for="gender">Gender:</label> <input type="radio" id="male" name="gender" value="male"> <label for="male">Male</label> <input type="radio" id="female" name="gender" value="female"> <label for="female">Female</label><br> <label for="hobbies">Hobbies:</label> <input type="checkbox" id="reading" name="hobbies" value="reading"> <label for="reading">Reading</label> <input type="checkbox" id="music" name="hobbies" value="music"> <label for="music">Music</label> <input type="checkbox" id="sports" name="hobbies" value="sports"> <label for="sports">Sports</label><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> <input type="button" value="Cancel"> <input type="password" id="password" name="password" placeholder="Enter password" required><br> <input type="reset" value="Reset"> </form> </body> </html>
In the above example:
- `<input type="text">`: Creates a text input field for the user to enter text.
- `<input type="radio">`: Creates radio buttons for selecting a single option. Radio buttons with the same `name` attribute belong to the same group, and only one option can be selected.
- `<input type="checkbox">`: Creates checkboxes for selecting multiple options. Each checkbox can have a unique `name` attribute.
- `<input type="submit">`: Creates a submit button to submit the form.
- `<input type="button">`: Creates a general button that can be customized with JavaScript.
- `<input type="password">`: Creates a password input field where the entered text is masked.
- `<input type="reset">`: Creates a reset button to clear the form input fields.
2. The labels (`<label>`) are associated with each form element using the `for` attribute. This improves accessibility and allows users to click on the label to focus on the corresponding input field.
3. The form is configured with the `action` attribute to specify where the form data should be submitted and the `method` attribute to define the HTTP method (POST in this case).
2. <textarea> :
A multi-line text input control is defined by the <textarea> tag.
The <cols>
and <rows> characteristics determine the size of a text area.
Example of <textarea> in html:
Here's an example of how to use the `<textarea>` element in HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Textarea Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Textarea Example</h1> <form action="submit-form.html" method="POST"> <label for="message">Message:</label><br> <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="4" cols="50"></textarea><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>
1. The `<textarea>` element is used to create a multi-line text input control. It has the opening and closing tags, similar to a `<div>` or `<p>` element.
2. The `id` attribute uniquely identifies the `<textarea>` element, and the `name` attribute specifies the name of the input field when the form is submitted.
3. The `rows` and `cols` attributes define the size of the text area. In the example, `rows="4"` and `cols="50"` specify that the text area should display four lines and have a width of 50 characters.
4. The `<label>` element is used to provide a descriptive label for the text area. The `for` attribute of the `<label>` should match the `id` attribute of the corresponding `<textarea>` element.
5. The form includes a submit button (`<input type="submit">`) to allow users to submit the form.
3. <label> :
Many form elements have a label defined by the <label> tag. When the user focuses on the input element, the screen-reader will read out loud the label, which is beneficial for screen-reader users.Example of <label> in html:
Here's an example of how to use the `<label>` element in HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Label Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Label Example</h1> <form action="submit-form.html" method="POST"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required><br> <label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required><br> <label for="message">Message:</label><br> <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="4" cols="50"></textarea><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>
1. The `<label>` element is used to create a label for each form element. It provides a textual description or name for the associated input element.
2. The `for` attribute of the `<label>` element specifies which input element it is associated with. The value of the `for` attribute should match the `id` attribute of the corresponding input element. This association between the label and input element improves accessibility and helps screen-reader users understand the purpose of the form field.
3. Each input element (text input, email input, textarea) has a corresponding `<label>` element. The labels are positioned before or beside the input elements to create a clear relationship between the label and the input.
4. When the user interacts with the form elements, such as focusing on the input field or clicking on the label, the screen-reader will read the label out loud, providing additional context and information to assistive technology users.
4. <select> :
A drop-down list is created with the <select> element. In most cases,
the <select> element is used in a form to collect user input. The
available options in the drop-down list are defined by the <option> tags
inside the <select> element.
Example of <select> in html:
Here's an example of how to use the `<select>` element in HTML to
create a drop-down list:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Select Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Select Example</h1> <form action="submit-form.html" method="POST"> <label for="country">Country:</label> <select id="country" name="country"> <option value="usa">United States</option> <option value="canada">Canada</option> <option value="uk">United Kingdom</option> <option value="australia">Australia</option> </select><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>
1. The `<select>` element is used to create a drop-down list. It allows users to choose a single option from the available options.
2. The `id` attribute uniquely identifies the `<select>` element, and the `name` attribute specifies the name of the input field when the form is submitted.
3. Inside the `<select>` element, `<option>` elements are used to define the available options in the drop-down list. Each `<option>` element has a `value` attribute, which represents the value that will be submitted when the form is submitted. The text between the opening and closing `<option>` tags represents the visible label for each option.
4. The `<label>` element is used to provide a descriptive label for the drop-down list. The `for` attribute of the `<label>` should match the `id` attribute of the corresponding `<select>` element.
5. The form includes a submit button (`<input type="submit">`) to allow users to submit the form.
5. <fieldset> and <legend> :
In a form, the <fieldset> element is used to group together relevant
data. The caption for the <fieldset> element is defined by the
<legend> element.
Example of <fieldset> and <legend> in html:
Here's an example of how to use the `<fieldset>` and `<legend>`
elements in HTML to group form elements together:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Fieldset and Legend Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Fieldset and Legend Example</h1> <form action="submit-form.html" method="POST"> <fieldset> <legend>Contact Information</legend> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required><br> <label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required><br> </fieldset> <fieldset> <legend>Preferences</legend> <label for="newsletter">Subscribe to Newsletter:</label> <input type="checkbox" id="newsletter" name="newsletter" value="yes"><br> <label for="color">Favorite Color:</label> <input type="text" id="color" name="color"><br> </fieldset> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>
1. The `<fieldset>` element is used to group related form elements together. It creates a visual container to organize form fields.
2. Inside the `<fieldset>` element, the `<legend>` element is used to provide a caption or description for the group of form fields. The text between the `<legend>` opening and closing tags serves as the caption.
3. The form is divided into two `<fieldset>` sections. The first `<fieldset>` groups the contact information form fields, while the second `<fieldset>` groups the preference-related form fields.
4. Each `<fieldset>` contains `<label>` elements and corresponding form input elements (such as `<input>`, `<textarea>`, etc.) that are relevant to that specific group.
5. The `<label>` elements provide descriptive labels for each form field, enhancing accessibility and usability.
6. The form includes a submit button (`<input type="submit">`) to allow users to submit the form.
WORKING WITH MULTIMEDIA:
Almost everything that can be heard or seen may be considered multimedia (like- sound, music, images, records, videos, films, animations, etc.). It is available in a variety of forms. Multimedia components in many forms and types can be found on web sites. Various multimedia tags in HTML allow you to add a variety of multimedia files to your website.
The following are some of the tags:
<audio>: Use for displaying a audio file on the web page,
<video>: Use for displaying a video file on the web page,
<embed>: Use for embedding multimedia files on the web page,
<object>: Use for embedding multimedia files on the web page.
<iframe>: Use for embedding other web pages.
<audio>: Use for displaying a audio file on the web page,
<video>: Use for displaying a video file on the web page,
<embed>: Use for embedding multimedia files on the web page,
<object>: Use for embedding multimedia files on the web page.
<iframe>: Use for embedding other web pages.
Media files include multimedia components such as audio and video. Looking at the file extension is the most common approach to figure out what type of file it is. Formats and extensions for multimedia files include: .wav, .mp3, .mp4, .mpg, .wmv, and .avi.
HTML elements for inserting Audio on a web page:
Music and other audio clips are created using the HTML audio tag. The HTML 5
audio element currently supports three file formats which are given below:
a) .mp3
b) .wav
c) .ogg
a) .mp3
b) .wav
c) .ogg
HTML5 allows you to use video and audio controls. The multimedia elements are played using Flash, Silverlight, and other comparable technologies.
<audio> Tag Attributes:
controls: It specifies the audio controls (play/pause buttons) which are shown.
autoplay: When enabled, the audio will begin playing as soon as it is ready. When an audio file is finished, loop signals that it will begin playing again.
muted: It's being used to turn off the audio output while it's muted.
preload: This indicates the author view that when the page loads, it should upload an audio file.
src: This specifies the audio file's source URL.
Example of inserting audio:
Here's an example of how to insert an audio file using the `<audio>`
tag in HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Audio Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Audio Example</h1> <audio src="audiofile.mp3" controls> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio> </body> </html>
1. The `<audio>` tag is used to insert an audio file. The `src` attribute specifies the path or URL of the audio file (`audiofile.mp3` in this case).
2. The `controls` attribute adds default audio controls to the player, such as play/pause buttons and volume control.
3. The text "Your browser does not support the audio element." is displayed inside the `<audio>` element. It serves as a fallback message for browsers that do not support the `<audio>` tag or the specified audio format.
Make sure to replace `"audiofile.mp3"` with the actual file path or URL of the audio file you want to include. You can use other supported audio formats such as WAV or OGG as well, by changing the file extension and providing the appropriate file path or URL.
Remember to include multiple `<source>` elements within the `<audio>` tag to provide alternative audio formats for broader browser compatibility, as different browsers support different audio formats.
HTML elements for inserting Video on a web page:
The <video> tag in HTML allows you to embed video in your document. MP4 and OGG are the video formats that HTML supports. The <source> element is used to identify media, as well as the kind of media and other properties. In the video element, several source elements are allowed, and the browser will use the first format it recognizes.
<video> Tag Attributes:
controls:
It describes the video controls, which include the play/pause
buttons.
height:
It's used to change the height of the video player.
width:
The width of the video player is specified with this attribute.
poster:
When the video isn't playing, the poster is used to define the image that appears on the screen.
autoplay:
The video will start playing as soon as it is available, according to autoplay.
loop:
When the video file is ended, the loop specifies that the video file will begin again from the beginning.
muted:
This option is used to silence the visual output.
preload:
The author is instructed to upload a video file when the page loads.
src:
This specifies the URL of the video file's source.
Example of inserting video:
Here's an example of how to
insert a video file using the `<video>` tag in HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Video Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Video Example</h1> <video controls width="640" height="360" poster="video-poster.jpg" autoplay loop muted preload> <source src="videofile.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="videofile.webm" type="video/webm"> Your browser does not support the video element. </video> </body> </html>
1. The `<video>` tag is used to insert a video file. The
`<source>` tags within the `<video>` tag specify the path or URL
of the video files (`videofile.mp4` and `videofile.webm` in this case).
Multiple `<source>` tags are provided to support different video formats
for broader browser compatibility.
2. The `controls` attribute adds
default video controls to the player, such as play/pause buttons, volume
control, and progress bar.
3. The `width` and `height` attributes specify
the dimensions of the video player in pixels (`width="640"` and `height="360"`
in this case).
4. The `poster` attribute specifies an image that will be
displayed as the video thumbnail or poster before the video starts playing
(`poster="video-poster.jpg"` in this case).
5. The `autoplay` attribute
automatically starts playing the video when the page loads.
6. The `loop`
attribute makes the video loop continuously.
7. The `muted` attribute
sets the video to be muted by default.
8. The `preload` attribute
indicates whether the video should be preloaded when the page loads.
Remember
to replace `"videofile.mp4"`, `"videofile.webm"`, and `"video-poster.jpg"`
with the actual file paths or URLs of the video files and video poster image
you want to include. Additionally, ensure that you provide multiple

Conclusion:
We have seen:- Image formats such as BMP, JPEG, GIF, and PNG have different characteristics and are suitable for different types of images.
- The `<img>` tag in HTML is used to display an image on a web page, and it has various attributes such as `src`, `alt`, `height`, `width`, and more.
- Image maps allow you to define clickable areas within an image using the `<map>` and `<area>` tags. Different shapes like rectangles, circles, and polygons can be defined.
- Colors can be set for different elements on a web page using attributes like `bgcolor`, `text`, `alink`, `link`, and `vlink`. Colors can be specified using color names, hexadecimal codes, or RGB values.
