I'm not sure about assistant but I know in web weaver you must
manually type in the command.
Inside the <body> tag enter BGCOLOR="#xxxxxx" The xxxxxx is the color
code in hex. So the command for a bright red background would look like
this <BODY BGCOLOR="#FF0000">.
There are many good locations on the web to find the color codes or
experiment using the numbers from 1-8 then the letters A-F. The numbers
are two place hex with 00 being NONE of the color and FF being the max.
The pairs are in order red-green-blue. The colors lose "brightness" as
you reduce the numbers, so FF0000 is bright Red, 880000 is maroon,
00FF00 is bright blue, 005500 is navy. 0000FF is bright green and
000077 would be a dark green etc.
Like we used to do with crayons, mixing colors creates new colors. Try
FFFF00 and you will get Yellow.
