How to edit the color scheme for Cover WP Theme

I’m trying to change the color scheme on the theme I selected and having just one hell of a time. There must be an easier way but I can’t figure it out. I don’t know anything about css or programming in general but I know how to spot a hex color so I figured I could just go through and change them. I love the Cover WP theme but I hate the ugly brown and red color scheme. I want to make it into something neutral that uses various shades of gray that will look good on pretty much any background. Light grays, dark greys, gunmetal grays, titanium. I figure these colors will work well on anything. The problem is that I spent a great deal of time, I still don’t think it looks great, and I missed I couple that I can’t seem to find that are still giving me some ugly browns in there. Can anyone help? Here’s my mystyle.css
