question about making a site skin

[mythity]

I am having trouble figuring out how to change the color of the red on AO3. I managed to change some of it to the turquoise I wanted but things like fic titles and some banners remain red. What part do I need to change?

this official skin lets you change the "key colour" so just use the code from that, change the #900 to what you want and it should target everything that uses it. There's also this one that lets you change all the colours.

For the specific issue in the screen grab you can add the following line to your skin and it should fix it.

#dashboard.own {
border-top: 15px solid #0c8a7d;
border-bottom: 15px solid #0c8a7d;
}

Alternatively, if you want a quick and wide sweeping fix, you could always use the wizard (skin > edit > use wizard) go to the color section, and change the header color to the one you want. This shouldn't actually change the header color from the dark grey you have now. Which I assume is because custom CSS ranks higher than any changes via wizard.
