Remarks

Use the BgColor property to specify the background color of the HtmlTable control. You can specify a color either by name or by using a hexadecimal value, preceded by the pound character (#), in the form #RRGGBB. RR, GG, and BB represent hexadecimal values from 0 to 255 that indicate the red, green, and blue components of a color, respectively. For example, the value #0000FF represents the color blue. It specifies the minimum value (00) for the red and green components, while specifying the maximum value (FF) for the blue component.

The following table shows the sixteen predefined HTML color names and corresponding hexadecimal values that can be used for the BgColor property. For more information on HTML colors, see the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web site.

Color name Hexadecimal value
Aqua #00FFFF
Black #000000
Blue #0000FF
Fuchsia #FF00FF
Gray #808080
Green #008000
Lime #00FF00
Maroon #800000
Navy #000080
Olive #808000
Purple #800080
Red #FF0000
Silver #C0C0C0
Teal #008080
White #FFFFFF
Yellow #FFFF00

The available colors for use with the BgColor property can be determined from the KnownColor enumeration.

Color names are case-insensitive.
