    Hi Jeff,

    You can inspect the css and change the color property of your font. Victor's post on using your browsers inspector is helpful introduction.

    You'll find more details on the color property here.

    To actually make the change involves editing your style.css or adding css in the Customizer (Appearance=>Customize=>Additional CSS).

    If you're comfortable editing your css, on or around line 165 in your style.css change the color property to your color choice:

    body {
    	background-color: #fff;
    	color: #777;
    	font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
    	font-weight: 300;
    	line-height: 1.625;
    }
    

    Hope that helps.
