ZIZISH – HANDY HTML TIP – How to find out the colors in your WordPress theme.
Want to know what the colors are for your new WordPress theme you just installed?
Here’s how you can find out.
Login to your WordPress admin panel.
Go to the Appearance / Design tab, then click on Editor and look at your list of Theme Files and click on the styles.css file.
Be sure not to change anything (you’re just looking) and use Alt F keyboard command to bring up a Find window and search for color.
Each time you find a new color, highlight, copy and paste the six digit color code into a file (I use Notepad) and within a few minutes you’ll find all the main color codes for your website.
To see what each color looks like, make a post like this one. (you can make it private or delete it later).
To change the FONT color inside a wordpress post, make sure the HTML box is checked (don’t leave it on Visual) and then write out the following using the SCAN tag.
by putting the text [ < SPAN STYLE="color: #_ _ _ _ _ _;" < /span> ]
(to make it work, just take out the space after the < before Span both in the open tag and end tag) #9a5300 Here’s What You Get

That’s a trick I haven’t thought of. I usually take more involved approach of importing a site page + the style sheet into a WYSIWYG editor, but for quick and easy color adjustment, this method looks like a good way to go.
What a great idea! I can usually either find themes I like or colors I like in fussy themes, so now I can easily change the colors of the themes I prefer!
What a great html tip! I’m ready for anything that makes life a bit easier. Would never have thought of it and yet getting the colors right for your blog or web site is so important. Thanks.
