 * if you post a live link to your site showing the ‘grey text’ then finding this
   css might be easy – using firefox web developer add-on or firebug.
 * looking at an image, you have to hope that someone with the same theme activated
   will see your question and will be able to anwer it.
 * general:
    if you lool into the html code of your site in your browser (‘View 
   Souce’ or ‘ctrl u’), you should be able to find the spot with the grey text –
   then look just before it where it should say something with `class="??????"`
 * note the `??????` and then search style.css for `.??????`
 * (could be something like `.postmeta` or similar)

 * It’s here:
    #comment-wrapper { background: url([http://theskeletonbandit.com/wp/wp-content/themes/foreboding/images/postbg.png](http://theskeletonbandit.com/wp/wp-content/themes/foreboding/images/postbg.png))
   repeat; border-bottom-left-radius: 9px 9px; border-bottom-right-radius: 9px 9px;
   border-left: ; border-top: 1px solid #861316; border-top-left-radius: 9px 9px;
   border-top-right-radius: 9px 9px; color: #CCC; padding: 5px; }
 * Change the color: #CCC
    to what ever color you want black would be #000;
 * If you don’t have the developer FF tool bar, you can use Google Chrome browser
   to check the styles,
    just right click on the element and chose ‘inspect element’.

 * the color is defined in style.css of ‘ComicPress ForeBoding’ (the child theme),
   in:
 *     ```
       .post-content, #comment-wrapper {
       	color: #ccc;
       	background: url('images/postbg.png') repeat;
       	border-left: solid 1px #861316;
       	border-top: solid 1px #861316;
       	-moz-border-radius: 9px;
       	-khtml-border-radius: 9px;
       	-webkit-border-radius: 9px;
       	border-radius: 9px;
       	padding: 5px;
       }
       ```
   
 * however, the css class of the surrounding element for these lines is:
    `.post-
   info` and you could add a new style setting the font color just for this class
