1. To set the background color in HTML, the first thing to do after determining the color you want to use is to open your HTML file with any text editor of your choice. There are so many of them on the internet; all you need to do is to search for the right one and download it.
2. Create the HTML skeleton. This contains the header codes as well as the background code.
3. To set the background color, you will need to code the background color such that it comes between the tags.
4. Between the tags, create a line where you will code the background color.
5. Start by writing the body element directly on the line you created in step 4. You should have something like this: body{}.
6. Put the background-color property inside this symbol {}, i.e., {background color}, and put a colon in front of the background color, i.e. {background color:}, followed by the color you are using, then close it with a semicolon. You should have something like this: body {background-color: orange; }.
