Ta,
admin panel/ tools/ define page editor/ define_main_page.php

1. This is one place where you can edit the text and assign a <p>sample text</p>
2. Or assign a id or class
3. <div id="mainPageDesc"> Sample text <br /> More sample text<br />Last sample text.</div>
4. Now use the stylesheet.css to control this element (div id)
5. #mainPageDesc {font-size: 1.1em;}

I'm not sure if you meant "main" as haredo took it to mean, or whether you simply meant the base size of fonts when they aren't otherwise specified. If the latter...

Near the top of the stylesheet.css you'll find something like this:

body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5%;
	color: #000000;
	background-color: #e5edf5;
	}

Change that 62.5% to something larger, like 75% or (my preference) 80%. Other font sizes further down in the stylesheet will adjust automatically, since they're all in relative units. Unless, of course, your changes are in pixels.

For the color, change the line in that block that specifies color. That will affect all text in the site that isn't otherwise assigned some other value in the stylesheet, so check your site thoroughly for unintended consequences.
