In summary, inline CSS is a method of adding CSS code directly into an HTML element using the "style" attribute. It allows for customization of specific elements without the need for a separate CSS file. You can set background color by using the "background-color" property and specifying a color value. Images can also be used as backgrounds by using the "background-image" property. Using inline CSS for setting page background simplifies HTML code and allows for specific customization. However, it can make the code more cluttered and time-consuming to update.
