    here is my site: http://www.rivcodistrict5.org/

    I am trying to change the color of the sidebar headings on the right from red to blue (or any different color for that mater) but I am not sure which part I should be editing. I was trying to find the color red in the code using http://www.color-hex.com/ to identify it as that red but after trying for a bit I gave up and now I’m here.

    This one is for the sidebar heading background color:

    #sidebar > div.box h3, #sidebar.default > div.box h3 {
background: #004E78; /* sidebar heading background */
text-shadow: 0px -1px 0px #181818;
}

#sidebar h3 a {
color: #fefefe; /* sidebar heading link color */
}

    The default of the text shadow is red, too, so I put the text-shadow line there in case you feel like you need to change to change it to something else).

    The default heading link color is also a dark color. It’s hard to read dark-color text on dark-color background. So I add it there to change it to lighter color.

    Thanks man! that was driving me crazy. I just copy pasted over
    #sidebar > div.box h3, #sidebar.default > div.box h3 {background-image: url('images/sidebarH3red.png'); text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #9e1107;}
    and worked perfectly.

    Mind if ask you one more question? If you look at my page the 4th section of the side bar down has its font color as black. I thought if I changed the #000 to #fff in the code you sent before it would change it over but that only changed the fonts outline.
