Html Text Size and Color: A Comprehensive Guide

Html text size and color are crucial elements in web design, and understanding how to control them is essential for creating visually appealing and effective websites.

You can use the font-size property to change the text size, with values ranging from xx-small to xx-large, and also using relative units like em, ex, and %.

A hex color code can also include letters ranging from A to F, and numbers between 0 and 9.
