I am having problems with customizing link colors on the Oxygen theme.
-
Whether I use the customizer or CSS, the link colors will not display as they should. They seem to be substantially darker than whatever color is selected.

Okay, then just so we are clear, can you explain exactly what color you are trying to change to and what you are seeing?
-
THe link color is currently set to #94b053, which should be a fairly light green. However, the links are much darker for some reason.
-
I agree, those colors are incorrect.
When you try using CSS, rather than the customizer, can I see the code you are using?
-
I think I have discovered the problem. Whatever colors are selected for links, headings, etc… seem to be “adding to” the default link color of the theme, instead of replacing it. If I use the element inspector in my browser and “turn off” the color for links or headings, they display the default color that is set at Dashboard –> Appearance –> Theme Options. What is the best way to resolve this?

They seem to be layering on top of the default link color instead of replacing it. (as if they are semi-transparent or something) That seems to be what is making them darker than they are supposed to be. Again, I am not sure, which is why I am needing help. Bottom line is, I cannot figure out how to make the colors what I would like them to be.

I was not only trying to find a solution with the CSS, I was trying to understand why the “custom colors” option was not working.

I am sorry for the confusion. Your original post indicated that you were trying to use both CSS and the customizer:
Whether I use the customizer or CSS, the link colors will not display as they should.
I was asking what CSS you were using because one our CSS people tested the following code and it worked for them:
.error, .entry-title a, .entry-content a, entry-summary a, .main-navigation > div > ul > li > a, .widget a, .post-navigation a, #image-navigation a, .pingback a, .logged-in-as a, .more-articles .entry-title a:hover, .widget_flickr #flickr_badge_uber_wrapper a { color: #94b053; }So I was going to suggest that you give it a try as well if it was different from what you were using.

Ok. That is much better than what I used, since it would allow me to use more than one link color in the future if I want. Thank you for your help.
