 * I have changed the font colours in the css, but I was wondering 2 things:
 * 1. If the theme gets updated, will I lose my colours?
    2. How do I changed the
   font in the header?
 * Thanks

 * Can you post a link to your site?
 * If you made the theme changes to the theme template directly, yes, they will 
   disappear if it’s updated. You chould make any changes in a child theme or a 
   [custom css plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+CSS) (The
   CSS plugin is what I’d recommend in your case where it’s such a small change!)

 * Fevered is exactly right about under what conditions your CSS tweaks will be 
   preserved or lost. Let us know if you have any questions about that. There is
   a [custom CSS editor](http://jetpack.me/support/custom-css/) built into [Jetpack](http://jetpack.me/)
   so if you’re already running that plugin it’s an easy route. Once activated, 
   you’d then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in
   your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.
 * This should change the font colour of your site title and site description (tagline):
 *     ```
       .site-header h1.site-title a {
         color: #bb00bb;
       }
   
       .site-header .site-description {
         color: #bb00bb;
       }
       ```
   
 * Purple colour is just for example – change to whatever you like. If you’re looking
   to change other elements within the header, let us know which so we can help.
   You can also right-click the element and use a browser inspector like the ones
   built into Chrome or Firefox to find the element to target with CSS.
