Selecting text and background colors



You can select colors for the text that appears on your Web page, including the body text and links. You can also select a background color to visually enhance your page. The colors that you choose override the default colors used by most Web browsers.

As an alternative to selecting a background color, you may want to apply a background image. For more information on background images, see Applying background images.

To select a text or background color:

1 Choose Window > Inspector.

2 Click the Page icon () in the upper left corner of the document window.

3 In the Page Inspector, click the Page tab, and select one of the following options:

  • Text to select a color for the body text.
  • Link to select a color for standard link text.
  • Active Link to select a color for active links. The color that you choose appears temporarily when a viewer clicks a link.
  • Visited Link to select a color for visited links.
  • Background Color to select a background color.

  • 4 Click inside the desired color field in the Page Inspector to select it.

    5 Select a color in the Color palette. For instructions on using the Color palette, see Working with color.

    Adobe GoLive automatically applies the color to the color field in the Page Inspector, and applies the color to the text or background color of the page.


    A. Click inside color field to select it. B. Select color in Color palette.
