background-color is used in CSS code or in style tag. e.g.- <body style="background-color:red;"> bgcolor is used directly as an attribute of any tag in html. e.g.- <body bgcolor="red">

Nobody uses bgcolor it is older way but helpful for learning purpose but if you are creating professional websites so then you should consider using background-color by CSS. Using background-color is also helpful because you can provide one background-color to many HTML elements.

bg color is not a css property, it is an attribute of a html element whence background color is a css property
