Colour of links in shopping cart sidebox

[Steven300]

Hi everyone. I'm trying to change the colour of the links in my shopping cart sidebox from the standard green colour to the same colour as the links in the information sidebox i.e. light blue. I have located the code in the stylesheet but the problem im having is more related to specifying the correct colour to change it to.

.cartNewItem {
	color: #33CC33;
	position: relative;  /*do not remove-fixes stupid IEbug*/
	}

.cartOldItem {
	color: #660099;
	position: relative;  /*do not remove-fixes stupid IEbug*/
	}

Any ideas?

You would have to determine the tag for the item that is the color that you want an use that # for the others

Sorry im not sure what you mean by that. I'm totally new to stylesheets. Could I not simply replace the existing colour code to the colour code of light blue, whatever that is. Or would that not work?

Thought that was was I stated

Yeah I realised that as soon as I posted my reply. Its just I wasn't sure what you meant by the word 'tag' at first. So how should I find out the tag of light blue? I guess I could just open up photoshop and have a guess at matching the colour and then try and match it by trial and error?

Post a link to your site and detail what box link you want the color of and what you want this color applied to

I've got it sorted now. At first, I tried putting in a variety of tags from photoshop but they never seemed to match 100%. Then I tried setting the tag to the word 'blue' instead and this matches 100%. Didn't think it would have been that simple.

An easy way to colour match (though there may be an even easier method than this) is to PrintScreen the page you want the colour from, paste into photoshop and using the colour picker tool click on the colour you want. Open the palette and you'll have the code you need.

There are also a number of tools that can do the same thing live on your screen. I use (in Mac OS X) a utility called DigitalColour Meter. It gives a pixel by pixel view of what's under your cursor and shows you the colour code of each pixel in various formats, including the hex format common in HTML code. I'm sure there are similar tools for Windows.
