 * If you simply want to change some of the colors that CSS should be simple. You
   just need to find an element that you want to change the color of, figure what
   rule is setting the color, and then just change the value.
 * You could also just do a find and replace. So if all of your links are red and
   you want them to be blue you could open style.css and find/replace a value with
   the new one.
 * [Here is an article](http://codex.wordpress.org/Finding_Your_CSS_Styles) on finding
   the right element in your HTML, [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/) makes this 
   a lot easier.

 * Hard to say what could be causing the color to stick, might be more than one 
   rule on that element. Could you post a link to the site you are working on, and
   what you are trying to change?

 * It looks like you don’t just have a single stylesheet, there is some CSS hardcoded
   into your theme files too?
 * Is there something that looks like this in your `header.php` file?
 *     ```
       <style type="text/css" media="all">
       body { background:#636566 url("http://www.myanimeisland.com/wp-content/themes/eximiusBlack/images/background.gif") repeat-x; }
       #header { background: url("http://www.myanimeisland.com/wp-content/themes/eximiusBlack/images/newmai.jpg") no-repeat ; }
       #header { height: 250px; }
       </style>
       ```
   
 * Any CSS in your template files would override the CSS in your stylesheet, so 
   I think that is the problem.
 * If you can find that code above in your header file, you could edit it there 
   to make the change actually show up. However, there is a background image and
   color, so the image will cover up the color. You either need to change both or
   remove the image and just set a color for the background.
