Need help with HTML

I need help with something.

I'm trying to make text the color black and make it italicized.

Is it:

Code:

<font color="#000000">text here</font color>

Or is it something else?

EDIT: Whoops. Left out the <I></I> tags. My bad. xD

EDIT:

Nevermind. Got it. If you look at my usertitle you'll see what I needed to know for. :P

Closed.
