Change body font colour in content section on Dawn theme

Hi there!

I'm using Dawn theme.

 

My URL is https://www.outerlayer.com.au/ and password to access is xxxx

 

I was to change the font colour of the body text in various sections of my product page template to HEX #212529 to match the title of the section.

For example (circled red is the text whose colour I want to change):

The reason the body text is a different color than the titles is because the base.css stylesheet styles the body text so it's slightly transparent. It appears to be a lighter shade then the title. The way I reset the body text to remove transparency is by adding a Custom Liquid to the header area (so it applies on all pages) and adding this code:

<style>
.rte {
color: rgba(var(--color-foreground), 1);
}
</style>

Note: The last number is the opacity. 0 for completely transparent and 1 for completely opaque.

Add the following code to the base.css file

.image-with-text__text p {
  color: #212929;
}

 

 

.rte p {
  color: #212539;
}
