Adding two buttons to Squarespace Header and changing their individual colors

Recommended Posts

Hello! 

After much Googling trying to find a fix to adding two buttons to the header without CSS (so I can have one link to an external url - if I can do this simply with CSS please let me know!) I've used a combination of Javascript & CSS by Thomas Creedon to add two buttons to my header, which work great but I was wondering what code I can add to change the color of just one of these buttons? Changing the color of both of them is as close as I was able to get.
