Use the color "name" for your font statements instead of hex codes. The names are easier to use and this method works fine with either Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. A good way to tell what text colors will look good with your background would be to save this HTML to your computer and change the background statement to use your background image. Email me when you are done with your page so I can check it out.
Place your mouse cursor over any box below to choose a background color for this page.
