    The default text color is not quite dark enough. How do I make the text black site wide? I am running WooCommerce as well, would it be two separate code adjustments or would one work for everything? Here is the theme and sample text I am using. Just want it to be darker black.

    Go to the Editor and change your css from what it is currently

    body {
    	background-color: #fff;
    	color: #4e4e4e;
    	font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
    	font-size: 18px;
    	font-weight: 300;
        letter-spacing: 0.5px;
    	line-height: 1.625;
    	margin: 0;
    }

    TO THIS

    body {
    	background-color: #fff;
    	color: #000;
    	font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
    	font-size: 18px;
    	font-weight: 300;
        letter-spacing: 0.5px;
    	line-height: 1.625;
    	margin: 0;
    }
