# Default Text Color

 * I’m trying to change the default text color for blog posts and having no luck.
 * I want the default text to be white and the caption text to be gray. It seems
   they only want to be one color.
 * If I make all the text white, the caption text is the same color as the border
   around an image and becomes unreadable.
 * If I take the color: #ffffff out of the body property in the .css file. This 
   turns everything to black — making my caption readable, but the blog post text
   the wrong color.
 * The only way I can turn the text white is to change it in the text editor itself.
   This seems impractical to me.
 * I can edit the caption font size under .wp caption but something is overriding
   the font color.
 * Anyone have any thoughts?

 * Problem resolved. There is apparently a difference between font-color: #ffffff
   and color: #ffffff.
