What's your favorite color? Red? Green? Blue? Purple? Orange? With this project, you can make a Web page about whatever color you want, complete with pictures. Here's what you do:
1. Click on the little picture to the right to see what our color page looks like. When you're done, hit the Powered by Webmonkey button to come back here.
2. Decide what your favorite color is. This is often the hardest part.
3. Get a digital camera and take pictures of everything you can find that is your favorite color. Don't forget to check the refrigerator and under your bed.
4. Pick the eight best pictures you took. With your image-editing program, make sure all of your pictures are the same size and they're saved as either GIFs or JPEGs. If you don't have an image-editing program, check out our Tools section for how to get one. You might also want to read our article about images for help getting your pictures ready.
5. Think of as many different shades of your favorite color as you can. We thought of eight (salmon, rust, sienna, etc.), but if you can think of more, go for it. Then figure out what the color codes are for each of those shades. For help on doing this, cruise on over to our Color Codes page. Write down the codes for your colors so you can add them to your page later.
6. Click on the little picture to the right again, then look at the source code. Copy this code and paste it into your text editor (if you don't have one, look in our Tools section).
7. Change the HTML code so it has your pictures and colors in it instead of ours. We left some hints and instructions in the code to help you along.
8. Save your file and look at it in your Web browser. It's a page all about your favorite color! Sharp! Snazzy! Sensational!
