How to change theme text colour?

Because I have a dark photo background I would need to change the colour of the "menu" and the other text in the theme to a lighter colour. Please advise. Thanks.

 

Hello,

Paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

#menu .ddsmoothmenu li a {
color: red;
}
a,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6, span, li, ul, p, div{
color: red ! important;
} 

In place "red" you can put your color or color code.
This will solve your issue.

 

ok, thank you for this. It works, but it works obviously for all the sections of the site. But how can I have a different font colour for different sections of the site? For example, in my case (alexdimartino.com) I would like to have the majority of the text in white but I would need to have the Lead Capture Form and the footer texts in a darrk colour otherwhise they wont be visible.
Thanks

 

I have somehow experiment with this code and it seems I am getting there. But I would like to have the bottom text in the footer in black not in white as the rest. I am trying to change the CSS code but I cannot isolate the footer txt on its own.

 

Hello,

For footer paste this code in Custom CSS
Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS

Code:

.footer .footer_widget p {
color: #414040!important;
}

Thanks & Regards
