  Hello, I’m trying to figure out where I can change the text color of my posts. When I post something, at the top left of the page, it’s blended in.
  Thanks again!

  The base font color for the Traction theme is set on the body tag:

  body {
      color: #444;
  }

  Add a like like that with an updated color to the bottom of your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page to update most of the main fonts.

  Note that if a more specific rule is set somewhere else, then that would override the general one set on the body tag. For example, there’s a very specific selector setup for the featured posts heading:

  div.feature-main h3 a:link, div.feature-main h3 a:visited {
      color: #444;
  }

  Finally, if you want to target something like just paragraph text inside posts, you would do something like this:

  .entry p {
      color: #444;
  }

  Oh! The date color? :) Note that it helps very much to have an example link where the issue can be seen in the first help request.

  I found a post example with a date here: http://squeegee-prints.com/2011/09/28/patch-printing/

  On that posts in Traction, you can change the date text color and text shadow color by adjusting the colors in these lines an adding it to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page:

  #main-top h4 {
      color: black;
      text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #DBDBDB;
  }
