Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used with HTML to give a web page designers centralized control over the appearance of each page.
Format
All definitions in CSS are written as selector { property: value; }. For example, in order to change the background to red, and the text color to maroon, you would type, body {background:red; color:maroon}. Body is the selector - meaning you want to edit a characteristic of the body in html, background and color are the properties - background refers to the background color and color refers to the text color, and then red and maroon are the given values for those properties.
