</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>

The numbers in VALUE="... are those hexadecimal numbers one could use to specify background and text colors in the <BODY... tag of your HTML pages. I'm sure you will easily figure out what those parameters are.

If you use the color settings given above, you'll get the left example. If you skip these parameter lines altogether, the default color settings are those on the right.

Have fun playing with colors!
