Struggling with easy CSS issue: font color change
 

I am trying to change the font color to white on the welcome.tpl since I have a dark background for this template. I've tried adding a new class, but Firebug always shows the that the style that is controlling the font color is Line 5 of the CSS and my newly created style is overwritten. I am obviously not skilled enough with CSS yet to create a new style that completely overrides the base style. I have tried everything I can think of to make this work. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You could add !important to the line of css code like this:

.myClass {
color:#fff !important;
}
