Yeah, but how does the internet work and how does the computer know to make green? It's so confusing!!!! =(  Captain Scott Mitc hell  http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif ''Cross-Comm. •   PAST BATTLES   14:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

The color is represented by binary code in a directory or file, the computer then locates this file to find green and display it in what you want, keep in mind this is a very simple way of explaining it as their are more steps and procedures. -- WR A IT H  COMM   CONTRIBS  15:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC) OK, that makes sense but how come it doesn't work in stuff like Microsoft Word?

is HTML. HTML is a programming language used to program websites. It is one of the simpler languages. HTML doesn't work on MS Word because MS Word doesn't use HTML to function. Parp555-<font color="Green">My Head Asploded! What have I done to deserve this?!?  14:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

How do computers work and how does HTML work are two VERY different concepts. If you want to know exactly how it works, like EXACTLY how it works, it would take YEARS of research in computers; very few people know the entire process of how it makes the text green. =D <font color="#000000">g <font color="#770000">ü <font color="#cc0000">é <font color="#ff0000">ß <font color="#ff3333">Ł <font color="#ff6666">¥ -<font color="#9999ff">π <font color="#6666ff">é <font color="#3333ff">Ґ <font color="#0000ff">∫ <font color="#0000cc">ø <font color="#000066">ñ <font color="#000000">¥ -<font color="#000000">† <font color="#007700">ħ <font color="#00cc00">î <font color="#00ff00">И <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">¥  00:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
