  Hi, I have the Lovecraft theme and there is a lot of red in it, which I don’t love. All my links are red text and so are the dropdown arrows for my primary menu, etc. How do I change this to another color?

  Hi there,

  You can go inside your Customizer in Colors & Backgrounds. Click on Palettes to choose different color schemes.

  Let us know if you have any questions.

  Yes, but that changes the background color–which I like as is–and not the link highlight color.

  In that case, you will need to use Custom CSS which is a feature of the WordPress.com Premium and WordPress.com Business plans. Custom CSS allows you to change colors of specific elements.

  With this feature, you can go to your Customizer then click on the Additional CSS tab. Add the following custom CSS to change link colors:

  .entry-meta a {
      color: blue;
  }
  
  a, a:visited {
      color: blue;
  }
  
  .main-navigation ul a::after, .main-navigation ul a::after {
      border-top-color: blue;
  }
