The color can be defined for a paragraph as follows.
You do this by using the font color tag.
<p><font color="fuchsia">This text is fuchsia.</font></p>
will look as follows:
This text is fuchsia.
Note: <font color="#FF00FF"> will do the same thing.
Using the hexidecimal number you are
able to use all 16 million colors available, but it suggested you limit
your choice to the 16 standard colors.
