HTML bgcolor attribute is used to set the background color of an HTML element. Bgcolor is one of those attributes that has become deprecated with the implementation of Cascading Style Sheets (see CSS Backgrounds). In modern web development, styling, including background color is typically handled using CSS properties rather than HTML attributes.
Note: The bgcolor attribute is not supported in HTML5.
