The choice of typography can significantly impact the visual appeal and effectiveness of a website. The way fonts and colors are arranged and styled can make a significant difference in engaging readers and driving conversions. In this article, we will go through the process of changing fonts and colors in HTML to enhance your website's appearance and make your content stand out.

How to Change Fonts in HTML

The good news is that changing fonts on a website is a simple process that only requires a few lines of code. Let's walk through the steps together:

How to Change Font Color in HTML

Changing font color in HTML is also a straightforward process using CSS. Simply use the property, set it to your desired value, and add a attribute to an HTML element. For example, we can use the hex color code to change the font color of a paragraph to a vibrant "Lorax orange." By adding the attribute to the paragraph element, only that specific paragraph will be styled, leaving the rest of the text in its default color (black).
