Style Tag

Isn't it bad for the specificity if we add style tag directly as we have done here

html += <div style="background-color: ${randomRGB}">${i}</div>;

There are other ways as well right to apply CSS to the element through JavaScript?

It makes sense for each DIV created here to have an inline (high specificity) style, since each one is being assigned a different color.

If you wanted to give all DIVs the same color, you could add a STYLE tag to the document instead, for example:

// do this just once, not for each new div
let style = document.createElement("style");
style.textContent = `div { background-color: ${randomRGB}; }`;
document.head.append(style);
