Colours and backgrounds

Foreground colour: the 'color' property

color | Value: | | | Initial: | black | | Applies to: | all elements | | Inherited: | yes | | Percentages: | N/A |

This property sets the colour of rendered text and text decorations.

Background colour

In RCSS, an element's background can be set as a flat colour but not an image. This functionality (and much more!) instead lies with decorators.

background-color | Value: | | | Initial: | transparent | | Applies to: | all elements | | Inherited: | no | | Percentages: | N/A |

This property sets the color of the element's generated boxes. The background colour is rendered under a box's padded area.

background background is an alias for background-color.
