I am absolutely new with elements, but with the help of the tutorials I have come quite far within two days. But I can’t solve the following problem, nor can I find an answer in the tutorials or the forum: I have added an area, where my customers should be able to update their concert dates with cms: > **[Konzerttermine 2026 - MAHALL TRIO](https://test2.riccardodelfino.eu/#konzerttermine)** > > Genau das verkörpert das Mahall Trio auf einzigartige Weise. Der syrische Pianist Aeham Ahmad, die tschechische Sängerin und Violinistin Veronika Neundorf und der türkische Perkussionist Abdullah Kırlı verbinden ihre kulturellen Wurzeln und... I have set the colour of the text component in elements to white, but only the tite of the markdown file and the markdown divider appears white, not the body text of the cms markdown file, it always remains black, no matter which colour I have assigned to the text component. Can anybody help me to solve this problem? Thank you very much ---

Check theme settings - have you ‘over-ridden’ article color? ---

Thanks for your reply. In my theme studio everything is grey and I can’t make any changes! So how can I change my theme settings? ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-07-13 um 06.21.05](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/a/0/a0e5d223355d43ba74072473625dae770e9b4c27.jpeg) ---

OK, I created a “new” custom Typography, set paragraph to white, but still the text of the cms is displayed black… ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-07-13 um 06.42.30](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/3/b34f7564cdb3937b23adc945037dff2d58b31832.jpeg) ---

Hi, In theme studio, right click on article and “override article”. Then, you will be able to change what you want as Michael showed. ---
