Difference of two CSS properties

[dungping5]

body {background-color:#9cf;}

body {background:#9cf;}

The effects are same. What is the difference between
'background-color' and 'background'?

From somewhere:

background: url(http://www.grsites.com/textures/misc/misc157.jpg);

The url is in fact offline. The background displays without being on
the Internet. Is the information in the PC?

Are there more options for the color? Where are they?

Thanks.

I get an image there.

1) I doubt that I've ever been there before.
2) My cache is disabled anyway.
3) I can see the image being painted slowly on my dialup, not at
accessed-from-HD speed.

I don't know what "the url is in fact offline" is based on.
