Hello!
I would like to change the gold text to gray. Is that easy to do? I am not savvy with coding.
Thanks!

What gold text? are you referring to a specific sp theme and overlay?? if so, need to know which one... and which text you want to change (screenshot?)...

I would like to change this gold text to gray, sorry for not specifying in the original post. My site covers Providence College Basketball, and our colors are Black and White. I would like to make this gold text either white or gray. Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

I am still not sure what text you mean.. do you mean all of the gold?? thats a lot of changes... since the overlay is not meant to be black and white... doable, just lots of changes... its more than one or two places to change...
easiest thing to do is pick the browser and inspector tool of choice... personally, firefox with firebug is best... with the browser inspector, you can inspect any element and see the css that drives it... and then know where to change it in the theme css file... best way really..
or I can give you the core color (gold) rgb value and you can look through the css file and change all the places its used...of course, assumes you want to change every instance...

To clarify: I don't want gold lettering at all, within the forum. I want the black background but all instances where letters are gold, I want white.
The second option would be perfect! Couldn't I just Control+F within the code and replace every instance with white?
Would I be doing this in the theme editor, within the Forum options or within the Wordpress theme option?
Thank you for your help!

OK - I understand what you want. But let's start with some information.What SP theme IS this? I don't recognise it so is it one you have already started to customise in some way?

Keep in mind I am not very familiar with CSS or code, but I can handle a find all and replace.

Ah yes. It IS one of ours! OK - you might have to do this in stages biut we can get the bulk done quickly.
First up you need to make this a custom theme. This is actually easy and quick and there are step by step instructions here: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/
Next - when this is done - you will notice within the /styles folder of the theme there is a folder named 'overlays'. You need to edit the one called 'black-gold'. Best would be to edit this in a plain text editor like Notepad under Windows or TextEdit on a a Mac.
The main 'gold' color is #EAC117 so search and replace #EAC117 with the color of your choice. White would be #FFFFFF or a light grey something like #CCCCCC. Make sure you swap both #EAC117 and #eac117 in case there are both case types in the file.
I would also suggest you change all occurrences of #555555 with something lighter - again like #CCCCCC for example.
if, after this, you come cross the odd bit here and there that needs change we can probably help find it.
