Did the default text color change, and is there a way to change it back?

[Jerry Lupo]

It appears that the default text color of Confluence, for the default template, has changed.  There is an ever slight blue tinge to it.  Looking at the source code, a class has been applied around the body of the text which is altering the color.

.gPlslk {
      background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
      color: rgb(9, 30, 66);
}

Especially to us designers / color sensitive people, this is super annoying.  Not only does it not match with the surrounding text on the page (headers default to #333, for instance), but it also doesn't match with the editor page (which is also #333).  So what you see in the WYSIWYG isn't what you get.

Any way to alter that, or request a reversion?

You can update the global stylesheet in the admin console (under Look and Feel). Docs are here: styling-confluence-with-css

Thanks  @Bill Bailey, however, the options that they mention there are not available for me.  I'm a site administrator, yet there is no option such as this.

Choose > General Configuration > Stylesheet

We're using the hosted option, in case that matters.

Yeah, the tag said Confluence. I just added cloud (probably want to delete the Confluence tag).

And you are SOL without some real cleverness. I am not a fan of the hosted version given all the limitations (the main one being lack of user macros), plus being forced to new versions.

Maybe there is a way through the color settings to make the change.customizing-color-schemes

[Jerry Lupo]

Thanks for the advice on the different tags.  So yeah, Atlassian itself made a change to the default color of text on cloud and its annoying.    I guess I'll just write them w/ the suggestion.
