    My client is using the Lifestyle theme. We recently updated her to the new Lifestyle Pro theme.
    Her chief complaint is that the font seems "light" or washed out.
    I don't disagree with her.

    How do I darken the font?

    Change the color of the body font on line 146 in the style sheet.

    is this the text in question? [my arrow]
    I use the Appearance > Editor in the dashboard

    /* Typographical Elements
    --------------------------------------------- */

    body {
    background-color: #efefe9;
    color: #a5a5a3; <-------------------------------
    font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: 300;
    line-height: 1.625;

    Hi @radiomogul

    Try to change to black #000000 as shown in this screenshot: http://prntscr.com/42uly0

    Cheers!

    Yep, that's the right line. Change it like Joseph suggested and it'll be much darker. 🙂 I think your header font color is #222; so you may want something slightly lighter, like #555;

    Best,
    Lauren
