Forum:Quick question - Changing main font color

I'm editing a wiki that uses a dark color scheme, so I'm trying to make the main text color white. I can't figure out what to put in the CSS, though. I looked over the help page for dark schemes, but I couldn't find anything for font color. Can someone tell me how to do this?

EDIT: While I'm at it, I might as well ask how to change the color for the different types of links too.--DZ987 05:13, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

body { color:#FFFFFF; }
 * That would work for main text, there probably are a few other classes to change too to keep everything consistent.

Links: (there are more) a.external { color:COLOR; }

a:active { color:COLOR; }

a:visited { color:COLOR; }


 * There are several others, I recommend getting Firebug (and Firefox if you don't use it) to easily inspect elements for CSS. Cheers! ~Joey~  ^Talk^  05:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I tried doing what you said, but all the text is still using the default colors. Here's what the section of CSS looks like:

color:#FFFFFF; }
 * 1) body {

color:#bfad99; }
 * 1) a.external {

color:#ad9984; } color:#806140; } --DZ987 05:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * a:active {
 * a:visited {


 * Clear your cache, and if it continues, please link me to the wiki. ~Joey~  ^Talk^  06:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Uhm, why did you add the hash signs? body and a aren't IDs, they're special html elements. 10:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
