The body selector has higher priority, but the * selector applies more broadly, so in <body>foo<p>bar</p></body> the body selector will determine the background of the text foo, but the * selector will determine the background of the <p> element.

Note, also that many browsers create an element around the <body> that includes its margins and scrollbars, so the * selector may also determine the color of that region.
