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.

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.
