  Hey there!

  To change the color, you can adjust the theme’s CSS code.

  If you’d like to give this a try, go to your site’s Customizer, by clicking below:
  https://mygoodmeasure.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fwp-admin%2Fpaid-upgrades.php%3Fpage%3Dmy-upgrades

  Then, click CSS in your menu. In the CSS Revisions box, please paste the following underneath all existing text:

  home-page-php .site-info a {
  color: #647883;
  }

  Then Save your changes.

  I arbitrarily adjusted the color to a blue-gray. To choose another color, you can find a hex-color code here:
  http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp

  You can opt for any color, as long as the footer is legible.

  The footer credit is required to be displayed according to our terms of service:

  http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

  Note that even sites hosted through our VIP program, such as the TED blog, display a credit to WordPress.com in the footer. (See the bottom of http://blog.ted.com/ for an example)

  Let us know if you have any additional questions about this.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Hi,

  Are you saying that I can change the colour/style of the theme at the bottom but not Blog at WordPress.com? I’m fine with them both being there – just want to style them differently! Is that not possible? They look like they’re floating aimlessly at the mo (on Home page), so just wanted to make them sit better on the screen.

  The css you provided didn’t seem to make a difference by the way..

  Thanks

  Hey there,

  If you could tell me how you want these items to look, I can be more helpful. Just give me a general idea of the aesthetics you hope to achieve, and I’ll do my best!

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  Hi,

  In all pages except the Home page, make both ‘Blog at WordPress.com’ and ‘The Capoverso Theme’ the same grey as ‘The Caperverso Theme’ is currently. Then if it could be made to be the font Tinos, uppercase and italic at the size it currently is too. Plain in style, as it is. It would be good if the footer background colour could be made to match my dark blue on the site too (#10121d).

  On the Home page, if they could be positioned as close to the bottom of the page as poss too – then the same styling as above but in white.

  Thanks

  Hey there,

  Ah…ok…so for extensive CSS revisions, I’m going to turn you over to the experts:
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization

  You’ll receive the help and guidance you need there.

  Also, I’m not sure if you’re aware, but because you have a premium theme, you have direct access to Swell’s developers:
  https://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/swell

  They will also be a good resource for you as you customize your site.

  Thanks again!
