 * Hello,
 * I am new to CSS, and I would like to change the default green, grey and darkgrey
   throughout the whole site, with other colors.
    Is there anyone that could tell
   me what I need to add to my own stylesheet to change all of those colors?
 * Thank you in advance

 * I havent really started editing the website yet, because I would like to see 
   if I could change the colours first.
 * In the theme stylesheet I found some of the colours, but I would like to change
   them in the separate stylesheet, in case of a theme update.

 * add these rule declarations to your child theme and change them to colours you
   have in mind:
 * #header {
    background: #FFFFFF; }
 * body {
    background: #FFFFFF; }
 * .navbar .brand {
    background: #73A53E; }
 * #sidebar {
    background: #FFFFFF; }
 * play around with different hex values 🙂
