Document: bgColor property
Deprecated
Avoid using this feature in new projects. Document color attributes are superseded by CSS. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.
Consider using the following features instead: background-color, Color, CSS object model, or getComputedStyle().
The deprecated bgColor property gets or sets the background color of the
current document.
Value
A string representing the color as a word (e.g., "red") or hexadecimal value (e.g., "#ff0000").
When set to the null value, that null value is converted to the empty string (""), so document.bgColor = null is equivalent to document.bgColor = "".
Examples
document.bgColor = "darkblue";
Notes
The default value for this property in Firefox is white (#ffffff in
hexadecimal).
document.bgColor is deprecated in the HTML specification. The recommended alternative is use of the CSS style
background-color which can be accessed through the DOM with
document.body.style.backgroundColor.
