change default text color in both page and visual editor

  • I’d like to change the default text color both as seen by visitors to my site and even more important in the visual editor. Right now everything is gray, which is almost impossible to read for my eyes. I was able to change most text, as seen by visitors, by adding this to additional CSS:

    p { color: black; }

    However the visual editor text is still gray.

    That’s not the only theme I use, I also use 2017. Although the text is not gray in 2017, I’m interested in learning about styling the visual editor in general. I looked at this article:

    visual editor styling guide

    Can you at least tell me if this is the right way to style the visual editor? The thing I’m not sure about is that this article refers to “TinyMCE” and I don’t know what that is.

    EDIT: okay I think I figured out the above. This guide did seem to be mostly correct; the thing I had to do was style the html .mceContentBody element.

    Also as far as the text color as it appears when rendered in the browser, I’m interested in learning in general how WordPress themes work. Is there some general element to use in the additional CSS, like p { color: black; } for styling ordinary text? Or is that always theme-dependent?
