    I use Chrome’s developer tools to find that stuff out.
    Here’s a useful tutorial for Chrome’s dev tools to help find CSS: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/css-selectors/

    Thankyou for your respopnse but I’m linux user and I use bluefish with gcolor but I’m not asking a tool how to work.
    I created a wordpress theme and included an admin options page wich has colorpicker integrated inside.I know using options a little bit and I got the colorpicker into my theme options page..

    The code wich I gave above worked fine to change the body background color from my theme settings page.

    My Questions is this:
    How can I give the possibility to change the a:hover links color from settings page.

    adding this tag into php ‘<body style=”background-color:’.$bodybg.'”>’;
    was easy But would be nice to have possibility to change the links color,menu background etc.
