Default How to change default text color and links color

We are using neon lights music and have changed it so that it's now got a black background but we need to change the default color of the text which is still the original dark grey. Links are still in their orignal blue which is a bit over powering so we'd like to change those colors as well.

We have had a look around using FF and Firebug but still can't figure out where to make the change. If anyone has any ideas where to make this change we'd like to hear them.

Would it be the color in the body tag?

body {
color: #1F1F1F;
}

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've been looking at skin1 main.css and have tried adding the font color to the section below but with no luck. Is this where you were thinking of or did you have another place in mind that I should look at

general tags styles
*/
html,body {
height: 100%;
background-color: #ffffff;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
min-width: 780px;
border: 0px none;

Your site seems to use style.css and not main.css

Line 9:
Code:
BODY { FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif; color: #1F1F1F; FONT-SIZE: 10px; background-color: #000000; margin: 0px; scrollbar-base-color: #000000; scrollbar-face-color: #161616; scrollbar-track-color: #121212; scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-arrow-color: #FF3737; scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000; }

Hi Tal, Thanks for your help so far.

I've had a look for style.css and the only place I can find it is in the current live store www.audio-excstasy.co.uk/shop/xcart

It's our new store where I'm trying to change the default text color, thats at www.audio-excstasy.co.uk/xcart

Altskin.css
Line 14 with div, th, td, p, input, select, textarea, tt, button

Check that and change the color.

Thanks for the help on this, finally got this issue and all my other customising issues figured out with the help of the Firebug plugin for FireFox. Was fairly straight forward once I got my head around it.
