# Post/Comment changing default color

 * Where in the twenty-ten theme does the code deal with the default color of the
   font in posts? I made my background black and I want to change the default color
   from a really vague gray to something a little more prominent. I’ve already made
   a child-theme so no need to worry about that.
 * I know when making posts you can change the color before publishing and that’s
   what I’ve been doing but it gets annoying. ALSO, the comments on posts are all
   in the same default gray, so I wanted to change the color for comments as well.

 * Do you know CSS? In your child theme’s `style.css` file, simply use…CSS haha.
   What I mean is try messing with classic stuff like
 *     ```
       body {
         color:#fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * for example. or you can be more specific like:
 *     ```
       p {
         color:whatever;
       }
       h3 a {
        color:foobar;
       }
       ```
   
 *  etc.
 * Is that what you were asking for?

 * Well I have certainly become very familiar with CSS. Not enough to write from
   scratch, but I can definitely modify existing code. What I have done to make 
   most of my current theme is find where in the original style.css certain code
   does what, and then modify accordingly.
 * So, the latter of the two you listed seems more specific, does that change/overwrite
   the default color of the font in posts?
 * I mean I guess Ill just add it to my child and see what happens. lol. Ill let
   you know.
 * Thanks! 🙂
