Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended.

The fontcolor() method creates a <font>
HTML element that causes a string to be displayed in the specified font color.
Syntax
fontcolor(color)
Parameters
color-
A string expressing the color as a hexadecimal RGB triplet or as a string literal. String literals for color names are listed in the CSS color reference.
Return value
A string containing a <font> HTML element.
Description
If you express color as a hexadecimal RGB triplet, you must use the format
rrggbb. For example, the hexadecimal RGB values for salmon are red=FA,
green=80, and blue=72, so the RGB triplet for salmon is "FA8072".
Examples
Using fontcolor()
The following example uses the fontcolor() method to change the color of a
string by producing a string with the HTML <font> element.
var worldString = 'Hello, world';
console.log(worldString.fontcolor('red') + ' is red in this line');
// '<font color="red">Hello, world</font> is red in this line'
console.log(worldString.fontcolor('FF00') + ' is red in hexadecimal in this line');
// '<font color="FF00">Hello, world</font> is red in hexadecimal in this line'
With the element.style object you can get
the element's style attribute and manipulate it more generically, for
example:
document.getElementById('yourElemId').style.color = 'red';
