Changing Text Colors in 7.1

Hello! Please help if you know advance 7.1 styling or coding!

I'm trying to customize my site's font colors in 7.1 .  I've gone through the Site Styles and changed the color palette in the general Advanced section, and changed specific items in the Customize section of specific "sets". Also tried deselecting the current theme in sections to have it take on the global style. But no matter what I do, I can't change all the font colors on my site.

Specifically, the client wants all her titles and image overlay captions and most text to be Blue. Can anybody help out with this? Do I need to use code?

Just a note Squaspace, this is a SUPER important aspect of being able to customize a site, and I wish there were an easier way to do this. I get lost in all the options that are laid out in different parts of the editor. Think others are having this same problem as well!

For the community to help, it’s important for us to see your site by visiting it. Please provide a working link to the relevant pages and tell us exactly which items you want to change. If your site is in trial and not publicly viewable, please check the visibility settings.

Basically, she wants all headings to be blue, whether they're on a basic page, product pages, or over an image. I tried CSS on the image block but maybe didn't use the right code?

If you want all h1 titles to be blue, you could add this to Custom CSS, then just change out the hex code to the correct color blue.

h1 {
    color: #3c5dae !important;
}

Then target any other headings you want to be blue as well.

Thanks @christyprice, this is pretty straight forward, however is there a way to tie this color styling to a particular theme? (in case a theme color and a heading color are the same)

You can change the colors within each Color theme if you go to Design > Colors, then click the pencil icon beside any theme. You can see the advanced color options and select any color you’d like for each heading size. I’d recommend this as it doesn’t require custom code, unless you want a quick fix for all like the OP. 
 

Here’s a rundown of colors in 7.1:

I need to change font color to black on a specific section of my homepage. I created an index page with a grey background but it automatically changed to white. I want to achieve the same style as my other sections

Hey there, 

I want a monochromatic color scheme on my site (https://www.tribeandsol.com) and all the font to be one color. I have edited themes individually and various other things.

Can someone please help me I've been up all night!

My mega menu (the drop down) won't change the color and a few areas of my homepage. Below all the text should be brown not black and white. 

This is a banner with scrolling text it should be cream and the text should be brown instead when you hover its brown and you can't see it otherwise. 

Here is an example of monochromatic that I want my site to look like https://www.indiaearl.com 

Thank you in advance!

Add to Design > Custom CSS

div.mega-menu-item *, .mega-menu-item :not(.image-button a) a {
    color: brown !important;
}

Thank you so much it worked! do you have any idea how I can change the background of the mega menu? 

Also I can't update my site I have tried for several hours. I can add some things but can't remove or edit other things. Changes not taking updating when I save them. 

I'm using 7.1 and Safari as the browser. I've cleared history, cache, restarted etc. 

If I create a new site I can edit that just fine. When I try to edit my existing site. Nothing happens.

I'm using Squarespace 7.1 and would like to change the color of all my paragraph 1 text. How do I do this?

@Annetta

In general you edit the section theme and change the color for Paragraph (Large).

Please see Change sections styles.

Let us know how it goes.
