How to change forum font colour

[invitezone]

Hi all,
just a simple question that I think is really easy for experienced users to answer.
I want to find out how to edit the font colours of the forum description.
I know I can manually edit the colours by adding html colour tags around the text I enter as a forum description, but I want to know how I can change the default for the entire VB skin I have installed. I have a dark background skin with black text, so obviously it is hard to see.

I also have ipbproarcade installed and have the same issue with the colour of the txt on that, so I am thinking there must be something I can change that will affect globally the whole skin.

Thanks for looking everyone.
If you need more info please ask as I dont know what im doing just yet, so maybe I have missed some info you may need to help me.

here you go, just goto admincp --> styles and templates --> Select edit templates from dropdown menu of your skin --> look for additional.css
and put this code

.forumdescription {
    color: #fff;
}

And then hit save.

Another method to change the text colors for whole skin,
just goto admincp --> styles and templates --> click go button next to your skin --> Then look for stylevar name "body_color" and change the values to your desired ones, And hit save. Now refresh your forum and your text should be changed globally, while you need to change the colors on some location manaullay.

Thanks
