How to change menu text color

    A hopefully easy question: Where do I go in style.css to change the color of the text in the menu? My best guess was the ‘color’ portion of the code below:

    .blog-menu > li:before {
	content: "/";
	display: block;
	position: absolute;
	right: 0;
	top: 50%;
	margin-top: -9px;
	margin-right: -3px;
	font-size: 16px;
	color: #444;
	font-weight: 300;
	z-index: 1000;
}

    But changing the color there didn’t change the color of the menu text.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi Alison8,

    To change the color of the menu text, enter the following code within a custom CSS plugin:

    .blog-menu a { color: #XXXXX; }

    Hi Anders,

    Thanks for getting back to me about this – I appreciate it. Unfortunately, your suggestion didn’t work for me. I added the code via a custom CSS plugin that I know works (because it successfully implemented your suggestion for a different issue here), but it didn’t change the color of the menu text. I tried a bunch of different colors just to be sure. Any thoughts as to why it might not be working?

    Thanks,
    Alison

    Hi Anders,

    I was hoping to change the green accent font to black, would you be able to help me with the CSS to do this?

    @alison8:

    That code should work. Try this one instead and see if you have more luck:

    .blog-menu li a { color: #XXX; }

    @quinceandmulberrystudios:

    Go to Admin > Appearance > Customize. There’s a setting to change the accent color there.

    Hi Anders,

    Perfect!

    .blog-menu li a { color: #XXX; }

    did the trick.

    Thank you, as always, for your help! It is much appreciated.

    All the best,
    Alison
