  I want to change the link colors on my blog, but when I go to Theme Options, I have nothing that says Custom CSS. Do I have to change my theme or is there another way?

  I am using Independent Publisher 2 with a wordpress.com account.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi meganmywaynorth

  By Default the all colors are decided while developing a theme. Changing font color comes under CSS Customization. In order to enable CSS Customization feature, you’d need a Premium or Business plan.

  Your site is currently using WordPess.com free tier account which does not offer such feature.
  If you think of upgrading your account then pricing/features for all the plans are provided here https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  More information about Custom CSS can be found here, https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-css/

  You can also try changing your theme if you want to stay under free tier plan.

  Okay, that’s about what I had read, but I didn’t know if there was some other option. Thank you for your help.

  @pratikawari28 @meganmywaynorth: There are a selection of free colour palettes that site owners without a plan can try out.

  To find them, navigate to the Colours & Backgrounds panel of the WordPress.com Customizer.

  From there, select the Palettes button that overlays the Background tab to see and experiment with the available colour palettes.

  Hope that helps! :) Let me know if you have any extra questions.

  @siobhyb: Just tried this option. Though it changes whole look and feel of the page, but definitely an option to give a try.

  Thanks for pointing that out for us.

  @pratikawari28: That’s right. :) The colour palettes will change the overall colour scheme of the site, not *only* the links.

  It might not be the perfect solution here but definitely one to keep in mind.
