  Hi.

  If you gave a try the customizer (colors and backgrounds) and this is not what you wanted, you can also use css to alter your text colors.

  Your blog is composed with several text types. First one, your post text. You can change it (I used red):

  body {
      color: rgb(255,0,0);
  }

  Second, your site title and category links (Let’s use green).

  .site-header a {
      color: rgb (0,255,0);
  }

  Third, your headers (blue). Be aware that includes post titles, but also comments title or ‘Leave a reply’ text. If you want to use different colors, just make us know :)

  h1, .site-title, h2, h3, h4, h5 {
      color: rgb(0,0, 255);
  }

  There are several texts not modified with these css codes (For instance ‘OLDER POSTS’ link in main page or ADD YOURS link, and the name and date of commenter in comments section) . If you would like to go into the details, just let us know the exact piece of code you would like to modify :)

  I hope this helps!

  PS: If you need hep to code your prefered colors into rgb notation, you could use this table http://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.htm
