Using Colors
In HTML documents, when you want to change the font color, you have to type a hexadecimal value for the color. The code is in hexadecimal with a pound sign and 6 characters from 0 (zero) to F (fifteen in hexadecimal). Some of the most common colors are shown below; however, the Color utility in CuteFTP eliminates the need to memorize the HTML codes for colors.
