How do you configure default text styles, e.g., change text color for "paragraph" and other styles?

[Mark Kasimatis]

In Confluence when editing a page the "paragraph" or any other style shows text in color dark gray rather than black.  How can I set the text color for "paragraph" and the other text styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) to be black by default?  Thanks for any info!

Hi Mark!

To customize the look of Confluence, including text elements, you would need to use CSS.  This can be done either on a site-wide or per-space basis.  We have a good article about CSS here: Styling Confluence with CSS

For example, to change all of the text of a paragraph (inside of a <p> tag), as well as headings 1-2 to black, you could use the following CSS:

p, h1, h2

{

   color: black;

}
