 * I just installed Twenty Sixteen and haven’t used it before.
 * Am trying to use Customize CSS in Jetpack to change the color of links and borders.
   And remove underlines on links. The theme will change border sizes but not colors.
   Font does change. Size of post header won’t.
 * Color changed on bottom page navigation but not other buttons.
 * My CSS validates with W3C.
 * Is this a common problem?

 * Hi Sharon !
 * I hope you are doing fine. No I don’t think it’s a common problem. It’s maybe
   some of the CSS elements have the value “!important” assigned to them or maybe
   you didn’t target the right element in your CSS.
 * Maybe you can paste your website so I can help you with a precise and fast solution?

 * ok here is my solution for
 * 1- Remove underlines on links and change links color:
 * if its the links inside posts :
 *     ```
       .entry-content a, .entry-summary a, .taxonomy-description a, .comment-content a, .pingback .comment-body>a {
          border-bottom:none !important;
          color: steelblue !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * 2- Size of post header :
 *     ```
       .entry-title a {
            font-size:20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * ofc replace 20px with the value you think it’s good for you.
 * 3- buttons colors:
 *     ```
       button,
       input[type="button"],
       input[type="reset"],
       input[type="submit"]{
           background: #368;
       }
       ```
   
 * replace #368 with the color you want
 * For the borders , which ones you want to change ? The borders of the widgets 
   🙂
