Where is the font color in a themes index.css?

[rcane]

I'm able to find background gradients and such but i'm having trouble pinning down the footer's font color.

I put a nice gradient in the body background but it's diffusing the font color.  I need to make it something bright like yellow or white.

Code Select Expand

#footer li, #footer p, #footer a {
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #fff;
}

Code Select Expand

#footer li, #footer p, #footer a {
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #fff;
}

Thanks, I found it, but it didn't have a color line.  That's why i was missing it.

It also only only changed the color of the vertical bar and not the actual copyright text.

if so, then your theme is doing something different from normal.

Use the browser inspect tool to look at the CSS and determine what changes will look like

it's a fresh install of Ants mutant. the color change above only changed the "|" and "," in the copyright text.  The others are originally colored.  Can't find it in the inspector or css.

If Ant's theme doesn't drastically alter the way the default theme works, the colour is inherited from all the way up in the body tag, which is right at the start of the file.

Right click on the text in a post, select inspect element, the inspector will show you every single CSS rule applicable to that element - the top-most element in the list that mentions a colour is the most specific that applies and if nothing more specific applies it'll go up to the very highest level (usually the body tag, but can be the html tag sometimes)

The C in CSS is for cascading...

Ok, found it.  it wasn't the color of the 'font' down there, but the whole layer.
