  Can you give me the css please for changing the colour of the text in Illustratr theme? It is currently a mid-grey and I want it black. I’d also like to change the link colour to something less obtrusive than red. Not sure what, just not a bright colour. Maybe a grey for that?

  Also, is it possible via css to change the size of the comment form prompt text separately from the main text? I’d like it to be smaller. Thanks.

  I have a Premium account so do have the css upgrade.

  Hi there, the following will change the body text to black in Illustratr.

  body {
  	color: #000;
  }

  Ah, brilliant! Thanks. It works! :)

  What about the links? Can they be changed from red to dark grey? Or if you could just give me the code and I’ll look up the color for myself.

  Great! On the links in the content area, add the following and adjust the color as desired.

  a {
  	color: #7f8d8c;
  }

  The grey I used is the color that was used for the body text before we changed it to black.
