div style="background-color:grey; color:red; padding:20px;">

Question

please explain me this code
why insted of "colour" we cannot write "textcolour".
its confusing!

Answer 1

simply because there is no attribute textcolor in HTML or CSS. the attribute is called color.
seeing there's background-color and border-color, I understand that it's confusing. I always wondered why there's no font-color. maybe it's because of simplicity.

Answer 2

thnks @mario it really helped me

Answer 3

Because the language was made in the USA. Color is American English for Colour in plain English.
