Document: bgColor property
Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.
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.
