I am constructing my own web site and I want to have bright White text on a Black background to highlight previous customer names and testimonials.
At present the coding I am using is #FFFFFF but when viewed in my browser it appers to be rather off-white instead of in-your-face White.
I have tried Bold but it makes no difference!
How do I add coding to increase the brightness?
Regards, Peter.

G'day petercharlesfagg.
Change your text font untill it's the required whiteness, or adjust your monitor brightness and contrast controls.

Have to agree there, turn your brightness control up! You can't get whiter than white. Try a bright cyan or yellow to see if that shows up any better.

Or you could try washing your monitor in Daz Automatic

Thank you for all the useful replies, I have adjusted the monitor to its true setting and it makes no difference!
It is interesting to note that on the webpage under "Testimonials" which was a part of the html coding added by the company from whom I purchased the web site details, the header IS a much brighter White than the rest!
I cannot understand from reading the code in my editor why this should be, there does not appear to be any reason!
IF you are sufficiently interested I have bought "LX Black" from this company in the USA and you can see for yourselves the site I am attempting to construct

I am not very good in putting across the jargon but hopefully someone can understand my meaning?
Regards, Peter.

It only seems brighter than the rest because it is a large bold font on a dark background, and the lettering underneath is grey.

Thankyou for your comment but!
The html coding for those "Grey" letters is #FFFFFF not "Gray"* as described in the book I am using "Creating Web Pages with HTML Simplified" from IDG.
*This is the spelling from the book.

FFFFFF is white. C0C0C0 or CCCCCC are grey. The letters in close vicinity to the white titles are grey, to make the white look brighter.

Hi
Try putting this, right after the </head> where you start <BODY>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#FFFFFF"
