The CSS background properties are used to define the background effects for elements.

CSS background properties:

• background-color
• background-image
• background-repeat
• background-attachment
• background-position

When using the shorthand property the order of the property values is:

• background-color
• background-image
• background-repeat
• background-attachment
• background-position

It does not matter if one of the property values is missing, as long as the other ones are in this order.
