Document: fgColor property

Deprecated

Avoid using this feature in new projects. Document color attributes are superseded by CSS. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.

Consider using the following features instead: background-color, Color, CSS object model, or getComputedStyle().

fgColor gets/sets the foreground color, or text color, of the current document.

Value

A string representing the color as a word (e.g., "red") or hexadecimal value (e.g., "#ff0000").

Examples

js
document.fgColor = "white";
document.bgColor = "darkblue";

Notes

The default value for this property in Mozilla Firefox is black (#000000 in hexadecimal).

document.fgColor is deprecated in the HTML specification. The recommended alternative is the CSS property color (e.g., document.body.style.color = "red").
