Were you successful?
Let's set the color together now.
Now we got a long reference of possible values,
but maybe you searched for color
and you then might have found the background color as well,
but as the name implies,
that would set the background color of a text,
not the text color itself.
But if you continue searching,
at some point after finding a lot of other colors,
you should find just color.
Now maybe you search for text color,
and indeed that property does not exist,
but you might've found the color property,
which has just written like this, color.
And that's how you can add a color to an element.
Now there are different ways of setting colors,
and I'll talk about those in a second,
but the most straight forward way of setting a color
is to set the color property, then a colon,
and then use one of the built-in colors like red.
There are other built-in colors as well.
And in Visual Studio Code
you even get that nice auto-completion here
where it gives you a little preview
of how the color looks like on the left of the text.
So that's pretty nice.
And here I want to use red.
And if we set that then, if we reload, this text is red.
So that's how we can now also set the color.
And there are more properties we can add
and more properties we'll learn about
throughout this course,
but that's it for the moment.
What I want to point out at this point, though,
is that with CSS,
you can totally change how your content looks.
We could also make this non-bold or shrink the text.
So the default styling assigned by the browser
is nice to have,
but it's not why we use certain HTML elements.
We're not using the h1 element
because that then, by default, is bold and big.
We could change all of that with CSS
and we could make a paragraph bold and big as well.
Instead, we really just use different HTML elements
to convey different meanings and to set the meaning,
which has then picked up by search engines
and by assistive technologies.
The look is not why we use a certain element.
Instead for this,
we use CSS and now you got a first introduction
into the CSS syntax.
