Colors not rendering properly

  The colors in the background box for the “Search” function, as well as the background for subscribing to my blog by email have mysteriously gone dark blue from green. I have not made any new changes to the CSS for over a month, and they were lovely and green last night.

  The background should be green – the outline box blue. I have searched through all of the CSS changes that I have made and can only find the blue code in the border. I’m new to CSS – and frustrated by the change – as it’s been fine for a month and I didn’t make the change :(

  I utilized the “add my CSS to Andrea’s Stylesheet” option. I have tinkered with it and no matter what I do, I am unable to make the blue boxes green again.

  Here is what I believe to be the pertinent coding:

  }

  #searchform input#searchsubmit,.form-submit input {
  background:#97c000;
  display:block;
  margin-bottom:5px;
  border:#004b8d 1px solid;
  color:#fff;
  cursor:text;
  padding:3px 5px;
  }

  Please help!

  About all I can suggest is to go back into the CSS and reedit the color definitions. I’m completely at loss as to how this could happen without someone actually editing the color codes unless staff made some changes to the CSS for that theme.

  The background for the search box is here:

  input[type="text"]

  but it doesn’t appear to be in your custom CSS. Add the following to your custom CSS and change the background hex color value ito your desired color.

  input[type="text"] {
  background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #002A53;
  }
