Color of Text on a web page

#1

I have a web page for a high school. Although I specified <body bgcolor =
"RED">
<font color = "BLACK"><B><H3>

<a href = "newsletr.htm" target="main">Newsletter</a>
plus several more <a href> entries or options ---

The color black appears blue or purplish. It almost looks like maybe the
red is on top and the black is bleeding through the red. Is this possible?
Looking for suggestions.
TIA

The quality of the code above is poor. I suggest that you use a validator to
detect places where you have structural mistakes.

Links are naturally purple once they are visited and blue otherwise. It is
the default setting in Web browsers and also a convention. I suggest you
learn how to compose stylesheets (CSS). One tutorial among many:
