Changing Background Colors

    I have Holi Child Theme installed and I can’t figure out how to modify the css to change the link color and the background/body color of the content on all pages.

    I tried editing the style.css but I wasn’t able to locate the lines of code that controlled the link color and the body color.

    I also installed a custom css plugin. It doesn’t seem to be over-riding the theme’s settings. Sorry guys I’m not great with css and don’t understand html functions very well.
    Tried this:

    a:link{
	text-decoration: underline;
	color: green;
}

    That does give the links an underline but no matter what I change that color: to it won’t reflect in the website.

    I’ve been going through the style.css and just modifying colors to see if that will produce the change but I can’t seem to get it to work.
    Thought link was here:

    }
body.holi-color-scheme-sepia a:active,
body.holi-color-scheme-sepia a:hover {
	color: #4d6f50;
}

    So to recap I need to know how to change the entire color of the site (body) to an off-white instead of the typical white or transparent and I need to know how to modify the color of links in the content of the site.

    Try the following at the very bottom of your style.css file for your active theme:

    .site {
	background-color: #CCC;
}
body.holi-color-scheme-sepia .entry-content a {
	color: blue;
}

    Then, modify colors as you want.
