You should learn CSS,

When I want to change a color, is first find out what color I will be changing. Eyedropper is a great tool for Windows users.

Hover that eyedropper over the color, and remember the hex value. Keep in mind that if the color is shown in pairs, it may be shorthand (I.E. #ee0033 = e03)

Now edit the vanilla.css, do a find and replace, and you are done.

Wallphone--thanks for that little app...I know the colors i want to use and have searched through the css file many times, just there are many places to change some of these same colors and when i changed them it did not see to take effect. I do not use windows but i do use xover office for linux. Thanks again!

Well, i can not find the "start a new discussion" color in the vanilla.css file. I have used the "eyedropper" poggie that wallphone suggested and still can not find where to change that color. Can someone point me in the right direction?
