1. [Color: Names, Hex, rgb() and hsl()](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/css-color-values) (Novice): CSS colors text with the color property and fills the area behind it with background-color, and it writes each color as a name, a hex code, rgb() or hsl(), with an alpha value when the color should be see-through.
2. [Pictures from CSS: Background Images](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/css-background-images) (Novice): background-image puts a decorative picture behind an element's content, on top of its background-color, and background-repeat, background-size and background-position decide whether it tiles, how big it is and where it sits.
