Changing the catalogue colours

I am using the classic template. You can see the store live at

http://www.earthchylde.com/store

The default catalogue menu colours are green and red. I have changed the text in the stylesheet to read

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
color: #8C0000;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited {
/color: #F7CECE;/
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
color: #E87777;
}

a:active {
color: #5B0000;
}

This should be varying tones of pink to burgundy, but it remains green and red. I am editing the style sheet in the directory...

/public_html/earthchylde/store/includes/templates/classic/

filename

stylesheet_new.css

Is this the wrong file? Every other colour change I have made has worked except this one... what have I done wrong?

One of the problems visited upon those who use the classic versus creating a new template based on template_default.

Remember that stylesheets load in alphabetical order so stylesheet_original.css trumps stylesheet_new.css

Just one of the many advantages to new templates is one stylesheet.

Does this mean if I change the stylesheet_original.css to have the same colour coding as the stylesheet_new.css it will work? No that can't be right, I have gone through and changed all the colours in there as well, and it still comes up the same green and red?

And N comes before O so if it is alphabetical loading the new.css would trump the original.css?

the "N" new will be listed before the "O" old, causing the "O" old to take precedence...
