# Modify CSS in default theme

 * Hello,
 * To adapt BD in our theme we need to change some text colors, especially the one
   for listing the add’s fields (fields’ names) when displaying the add.
 * Also we would like to change the color of the categories listing when submitting
   a new add.
 * Even when modifying the themes/default/assets/ styles.css and style.min.css the
   text colors remain the same. Is there another place where this color is coded?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@ruzakuku](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruzakuku/),
 * Yes, we recommend a custom CSS file specifically for BD.
 * Here is an article about how to use custom CSS with Business Directory in a way
   that doesn’t get overwritten on upgrade of BD: [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd-2-1/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd-2-1/)
 * Try that and let me know if you run into more issues.

 * Yes we did it but it seems not possible to change in those 2 files, the text 
   color for the fields’ names… Can you please tell me in which file we can find
   them? We looked in at the template files, in vain.

 * In this case, editing plugin files directly is a BAD idea.
 * Again, using custom CSS and the proper selector, you can easily target these 
   fields. We give each field a particular class and ID so you can easily find them.
 * If you’re not familiar with selectors, I highly recommend reading this:
 * [https://css-tricks.com/how-css-selectors-work/](https://css-tricks.com/how-css-selectors-work/)
 * That, coupled with our custom CSS file should do the trick.
