What is the HTML code for light yellow?

Published in HTML Colors 2 mins read

The HTML code for light yellow is #FFFFE0.

Here's a breakdown of how to use this in your HTML:

You can use this hexadecimal color code in your HTML or CSS code to specify the light yellow color. Here are a few examples:

  • Inline Styling (HTML):

    <p style="color:#FFFFE0;">This text is light yellow.</p>
<div style="background-color:#FFFFE0;">This div has a light yellow background.</div>

  • Internal/Embedded CSS (HTML):

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
p {
  color: #FFFFE0;
}
.lightyellow-background {
  background-color: #FFFFE0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p>This paragraph is light yellow.</p>
<div class="lightyellow-background">This div has a light yellow background.</div>

</body>
</html>

  • External CSS (Recommended):

    Create a separate CSS file (e.g., styles.css) and link it to your HTML file.

    In styles.css:

    p {
  color: #FFFFE0;
}

.lightyellow-background {
  background-color: #FFFFE0;
}

    In your HTML:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>

<p>This paragraph is light yellow.</p>
<div class="lightyellow-background">This div has a light yellow background.</div>

</body>
</html>

Alternative methods for specifying light yellow (less common):

While the hex code #FFFFE0 is the most direct way, you could also use the color name "lightyellow" (though browser support might vary slightly) or the rgb() or hsl() functions to define a similar color. However, #FFFFE0 is the standard and most reliable way to achieve light yellow.
