How come "font color" attribute working in <hr/> tag but not in <p> ?

Question

Maybe the answer is obvious , but i am still learning . here is the code i used
<hr font color = "red" width="100px" /><!-- this one is copied -->
<p font color = "red" >^So it seems I can but also can't change the colour of the font by font colour attribute</p>
so , what is wrong ?

Answer 1

hi there, your answer is your next lessons but the statement should be like this :
<hr style=" border-color: red">
<p style="color: red" >bla bla some text here</p>
it's inline style but the color also could be controlled with css codes.
hope it helps,
have nice learning times.
