    Hi there!
    I am trying to create a custom color palette for the Purpose theme and I do not know CSS, but chat support suggested that I post in this forum and somebody might be able to assist. I would like the following colors:

    Header: white #ffffff
    Background: #2c669b
    Text: white #ffffff
    Header Links: 1b3e8c
    All Other Links: 9eb2db

    This theme doesn’t allow me to choose these colors in the customizer, so I need custom code to override that. If anybody can help me out I would really appreciate it!

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

    Hi, I took my best shot at this given the details above. I’m not 100% certain each snippet will match up to the things you were hoping to customize.

    For the header to have a white background, this will work:
    div#header.header-large {background-color: #fff;}

    For the header links to be that color (1b3e8c), this will work:
    #wrap #header .menu a, #wrap #header .menu a:link {color: #1b3e8c;}

    For all other links to be that color (9eb2db), this will work:
    .page a, .page a:link {color:#9eb2db;}

    And for the background to be that color (2c669b), this will work:
    body.custom-background {color:#2c669b;}

    The rest of the text is currently showing as white for me, so looks like that part is done.

    Thank you so much! All of that seems to work perfectly, except the links in my header/top menu are still showing up as black. This isn’t a huge problem but is there any other fix for that?

    Also, is there a way to change the grey text in the footer (i.e. the phone number in the Contact widget and small text in the Text widget) to be white as well?
