Understanding Hex / Color Values

Hex values are used for generating colors other than the standard reds, blues, greens, yellows, purples, etc.  As you learned above, to specify a purple font you just use the tag <font color="purple">. 
But HTML doesn't understand colors like "sky blue" or "pea green" so if you want these kinds of colors, you need to specify a hex color value.
The hex color code chart below will give you the HTML code you need for your desired colors...

1. Drag the bar on the "Hue" selector to generate the desired base color. 

2. Next double click inside the Brightness/Saturation grid to activate the cursor.  Drag it until the desired brightness is achieved. 

The "Swatch" bar shows you the final color result.

3. The Hex Color Code is generated at the bottom of the grid.  Simply copy and paste the code into your page.

Inserting Bullets

You can insert bullets into your pages by simply using the <ul> (unordered list) and <li> (list item) codes.
<ul>
<li> Bullet 1 </li>
<li> Bullet 2 </li>
<li>Bullet 3 </li>
</ul>
The above code will create the standard, round bullet that looks like this:

• Bullet 1
• Bullet 2
• Bullet 3

If you would like an open-circle bullet, you can change the code slightly by adding an attribute to the <ul> tag.  See below:
<ul type="circle" >
<li> Bullet 1 </li>
<li> Bullet 2 </li>
<li> Bullet 3 </li>
</ul>
This will create an open-circle bullet.  See below:

• Bullet 1
• Bullet 2
• Bullet 3

Indenting Text

To indent your text about an inch to the right, simply use the open and closing <blockquote> tag around the text you want to indent. 
<blockquote> This text will be indented indented </blockquote>
See how the code makes the text in the paragraph below behave:
