CSS Backgrounds

The background property is a shorthand property that allows all the individual background properties to be set in a single declaration (including background-color, background-image, background-repeat, background-attachment, and background-position).
Using this shorthand property, we can set the color of the background (the background-color), and supply the URI of an image to be used on the background at the same time. The remaining properties dictate how and where the image is placed.

Example

body{
  background: #FF0000;
}
