Default Text Colour

Hi.  I'm using 1.7 - clean install - and have ShadowMenu left + 1 column set as my default template for all pages, using stylesheet Layout: Left sidebar + 1 column for the CSS.  I want to set a default colour for all text on the site and have tried to do this in the stylesheet at the point where this piece of code appears:

Code: Select all

/*****************basic layout *****************/
body {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
/* default text color for entire site*/
	color: #000099;

However, this is having no effect.  Can anyone tell me why not, please, and where I need to make changes if not here?
TIA

Beneath that entry, within the pagewrapper div, change the:

  color: black;

to whatever you want.

You might also look for other "color" tags that may be affecting the color of the text you're trying to change.

That worked fine - many thanks.  The instructions aren't terribly clear, are they?  In fact, changing the 'default text color for entire site' doesn't seem to have any effect on anything at all...

I believe it's there mostly as as "catch-all".
