There's no combination needed. If you want to override what you have in your external/embedded style sheet, you can just use the STYLE attribute: <LI STYLE="color: #rrggbb"> Yes, it's a little more typing than <LI COLOR="#rrggbb"> but it means that we don't have to continually add new attributes to HTML every time someone thinks up a kewl new style.
