Thanks for trying Chacunsam. that didnt work but i finally figured out a way to get it done. I had to force the color with html. Here’s what i did
Go to Customizer – Front Page – Static Slide Content – Edit Content. In the Visual Tab type out what you want on the slider ( In my case “True love is just a CLICK away”) and link the text you want linked ( I linked “CLICK”) then go to the Text tab and add <span style = “color: ColorYouWant”> after the href tag
so in my case the text went like
True love is just a (tag)a href=”link”><span style=”color: red;”>CLICK</span>(close a href tag)
*use the actual a href tag where you see (tag)
hopes this doesnt backfire in future and hope it helps someone
