I don't like the color of the text in my wordpress theme on my post content and i want to change this, but I'm looking at style.css and I don't see the class to edit. Where should I be looking? My website is http://www.everyonehatesgas.com You'll see what I'm talking about.
Try changing this: <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;"> to whatever color you want.
But I'm asking how do I get to that? Like I know when I view source I can see it, but I don't see anything like that in the wordpress admin panel.
You normally change the color in the stylesheet using the theme editor (Administration > Design > Theme Editor). There won't be a text color option in the admin panel unless the theme designer has made a custom options page. Remove the <p> tags from your posts and change this in style.css .entry { clear: both; color: #333333 padding-top: 10px; } Code (markup):
This is what the default .entry is on my stylesheet: .entry { clear: both; padding-top: 10px; } Code (markup): Here's the whole thing if you wanna take a look at it. /* Theme Name: Benz Theme URI: http://www.themebin.com Description: Trendy & Elegant wordpress theme for car lovers!.

Yeah, just add that color line, and change #333333 into whatever color you want. If you're not familiar with color codes, look one up here: Wikipedia - Web Colors
