Twenty twelve font lighter

Do not edit the Twenty Twelve theme. It is the current default WordPress theme and having access to an original, unedited, copy of the theme is vital in many situations. First create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin.

Hi esmi im using a child im trying css to lighten the main body copy but cant do it I’ve tried “light lighter 100 200” nothing seems to make it lighter.

Try using a hexadecimal code for a lighter shade of grey. But please be aware that by doing this, you may be making your site difficult (if not impossible) for some people to read.

Thanks esmi that was the option I was going to take. Ive reversed out site “black” with white type and the font twenty twelve uses for a normal “white” background is fine but its to bold on a black background.
