SSL Checkout Page Colours

[MusicCentre]

Just got my site uploaded to my domain and giving it a test through. The checkout page confuses me a little though. When it transfers to my SSL page to take details it obviously takes the shop name across along with certain information on font and background colours, presumabley from css settings.

The way I have done my site due to some quirk I found with actinic changing colours oddly means I did a lot of manual css, and so it seems that some things I worked around result in have a white background with pink text as my highlighted fields in the card detail section, and the non highlighted text in white... as if pink isn't tricky enough to read as it is on white!

When I looked at the source file for that section of the checkout all the colours are hard coded in. Where is it drawing it from so I can make it readable? Or does anyone know if actinic have a way to link it to another file... don't want to ruin the look of my page this close to going live... but if I have to.... its been a long day.

Thanks in advance as usual for any help.

To offer any help we would need to see the site

I had a look at what is presumably your site: (http://www.musiccentre.co.uk/acatalog/shop.html) and placed a test order. I can see what you mean the text is pink on white. (I wouldn't let that stop you going live though, although not ideal it's not a show stopper)

If you haven't already, take a look at your site colour scheme and see if you can see any pink text colour anywhere. (Design|Colors)

Perhaps a call to Actinic on Monday would be worthwhile, maybe it's something to do with the Actinic SSL server side.

Had another look and I see you also have pink text on your Contact Us page. This is coming from actrequiredcolor in css. Might be worth changing that colour to something that is midway between the Blue and White that would be OK on either backgound if you can to see if that helps.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I was a little warey about even opening that screen to be honest, mostly because of the manual css work I was doing to get round actinic being funny with certain things. So I've backed up my css files, opened up the menu and changed the form backgrounds field (which I assumed would have meant text fields, not tables) and everything looks great, just need to step back my editing of css to get black text on those previously white backgrounds and its a winner. I probably would have spent a lot longer looking in css files if it wasn't for your advice, so thank you once again.
