The color attribute of <font> is not supported in HTML5.
I hope this helps. :)

Courses Plus Student 10,864 PointsHello, U Lun Chung ,
The size attribute specifies the size of the text inside a <font> element.
The color attribute specifies the color of the text inside a <font> element.
You can set the size of the text but not the color of the text with the font-size property. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Happy Learning :)
