Help a completely clueless noob change some colors (piefed.social)

I changed my theme to the Hercules 1982 theme. Its very nice, other than the colors are a bit off for my taste. I'd like to change those.

I managed to change the background color to what I wanted, by the cunning use of copypasting a part of a css tutorial thing. But turns out, copypasting doesn't work for everything. I'm a total newbie, I drive trucks for a living, I have no idea what I'm doing with these computing machine things lol.

Anyway, I'd like to change the text color and the title bar background color, the thing that has the Piefed logo, communities, explore, account and donate links. I tried looking for tutorials and such, but I think I'm looking for wrong things or maybe I'm just underestimating my own stupidity (very highly likely). Anyone wanna help me?

I see you already got the background color of the navbar sorted. As for the text color, if you really want to change the text color for pretty much everything that isn't a link (including stuff like icons), then you could do something like this (using red as an example):

* {  
    color: red;  
}

However, you might want to be more selective and only change the text color in certain areas.

Post body and comments:

body {  
    color: red;  
}

Text in the cards on the sidebar:

.card-body {  
    color: red;  
}

The color of hyperlinks:

a {  
    color: red;  
}

Oh nice, that took care of most things. Thanks!

I'll see if I can figure out that "inspect" thing and use that to do the rest :)
