  Hey there,

  I’m not quite sure if this is the right place to ask about this issue – but I’ll give it a try! :)

  I find the colour of the main text for the Adelle Theme way to light and hard to read and would like to change it from grey to a darker grey or even to black.
  Unfortunately, I didn’t find out how and hope you guys can help me with this!
  Can I do it with CSS and if yes, how?

  Thanks a lot

  Hi there,

  In general, help with these kind of customizations are best handled in the CSS Customization forum, where a ton of volunteers (in addition to our Staff) are happy to help:

  But since you’re here… :)

  You can also adjust the body test for a post/page in that post/page’s editor, no CSS required:

  However, if you’re never planning to use the default gray color, then CSS might be the better way to go. Try this out first?

  body{
  	color: #000000;
  }

  Let me know if that selector covers too many places (or too few.)

  You can of course choose whatever hex-value you like for the color, but #000000 is true black. You can pick out other hex values here:

  Best,

  Hey Alex!

  I’m sorry for the late reply – thank you so much for your help!
  As I wanted to change the default color, the css code worked perfectly for me! It covered all posts.

  Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year
