    Hi,

    I have my child theme and all.

    I am wondering if there is anything that is “bleaching” the a tag hover color via css or any other thing.

    No matter what color I set via css it always appears lighter than intended, so is there any filtering going on ?

    Thanks!

    Can you make sure you’ve linked us the right website?

    done… sorry

    I have checked css in D tools but there has to be some opacity or filtering going on.

    I can’t see it being bleached, can you give an example of a link that has the issue?

    Any link would. The Site name and navigation for example … all links actually, so far I have just a few.

    This is the color #8b0000 I want, and sure here looks lighter.

    I looked the color on several html color pages and it sure looks darker, as I watched it on the same monitor as I am programming the css… Why would it appear differently.

    Thanks

    Also the colour is coming through as #8b0000

    Might be the surrounding white then that makes it look lighter.

    Thou .. originally the hover is some what grey from black and just wanted to make sure was there any opacity or filter.

    Anyway … here looks or seems lighter.

    I’ve triple checked this and can’t see any programmatic symptom causing that in the theme on your site. I also can’t replicate the issue.

    Just un update…

    I made some text with that color and it sure looks darker, so there has gotta be something going on to make it appear lighter.

    This is driving me nuts … just a simple thing!

    I just found the offending thing !

    .site-branding a:hover, .site-branding a:focus {
    opacity: 0.7;
}

    Finally I have found it!

    That would only be applied to the site title – and it isn’t actually being applied because of this style:

    
.site-branding a:hover, .site-branding a:focus {
    opacity: 1;
}

    Try using a browser developer tool to explore what styles are actively being applied to the links like Chrome’s Inspect tool: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/inspect-styles/

    Thanks.
