Selectors are essentially patterns that match against elements in your HTML document. Understanding selectors is fundamental because they determine which elements your CSS rules will affect. The element or elements targeted by a selector are referred to as the 'subject of the selector.' When writing a CSS rule, you first specify the selector, followed by curly braces that contain the style declarations.<br/>For example, to change the text color of elements, you can use the <kbd>color</kbd> property within your declaration block.<br><br><pre>/* Element selector */\np {\n  color: orangered;\n  /* │       └─── Indicates the value of the expression\n     │                                                     \n     └─────────── Indicates the property of the expression */\n}</pre>",

Type selectors are the most fundamental way to select elements, applying styles consistently to all instances of a particular HTML element throughout your document.
