Change the colors of the links in the footers widgets

Hello,
As it seems, I can choose only one color for all links on all pages and widgets. This is unfortunate when the footer and the widgets in it have a dark background color, but the background of the pages is bright. If I set a darker color for the pages, you will no longer see links in the footer widgets. If I take a light color, then this is good to read in the footer, but there is no contrast on the pages. Certainly there is a CSS adjustment? For a tip I am grateful.
Thanks and best regards,
Admine BF

    Hi Admine,

    I’ve logged this as a feature request.

    You can change this with some custom CSS. If you navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Add and adjust the following CSS:

    /* General footer text */
#colophon {
  color: #595959;
}

/* Footer widget title */
#colophon .widgets .widget-title {
  color: #292929;
}

    You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.

    Hi alex, thank you, that is great. Then I can certainly change the synonymous for the links in the area above the menu – I'm not exactly how this area is called: Topbar? Is there a special CSS for this?

    Best regards,
    Admine

    Hi Adminem,

    Topbar is correct – it’s #topbar. All up it would look something like this:

    /* General footer and top bar text */
#topbar, #colophon {
  color: #595959;
}

/* Footer widget title */
#topbar .widgets .widget-title, #colophon .widgets .widget-title {
  color: #292929;
}

    Good morning Alex,
    Thank you so much! We are currently much on the try and develop, the site is not yet public.
    Your code works for all footer areas, but nothing changes in the topbar.
    But it is now ok and done => I have the font color directly in the editor widget of the topbar set. Some things are just too obvious ;-)

    The Footer has now got a bright background color, so I do not need an individual color change anymore. But I have learned something again –
    thank you very much!

    Best regards,
    Admine

    Hi Admine,

    Hm. Try the following CSS instead:

    /* General footer and top bar text */
#topbar p, #topbar .widgets, #colophon {
  color: #595959;
}

/* Footer widget title */
#topbar .widgets .widget-title, #colophon .widgets .widget-title {
  color: #292929;
}

    Sorry about that!
