I'd like to make the default answer text color a darker grey because the default color is difficult to read for folks with low vision. What is the CSS code for changing just the answer text? I don't need to change the question text, the answer background, or anything else. Just the answer text. Thank you!

Hi Deepak, thank you for response. Unfortunately, when I try that with a dark grey hex code, I don't notice any change. This is what I put in the Custom CSS field:
.Skin .MC .TextEntryBox, .Skin .TE .ESTB .InputText, .Skin .TE .FORM .InputText, .Skin .TE .ML .InputText, .Skin .TE .PW .InputText, .Skin .TE .SL .InputText {
  color: #5A5A5A;
}

Can you think of any reason why this wouldn't have changed the answer text color?

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/52955#Comment_52955The default value is #757575 which is very close to #5a5a5a. I believe you should inspect the text and check within style the color value. or you can include !important to override default CSS as well.
