You should be able to set it strictly from the CSS file. Keep in mind it may be set from one or more location, as in the following example:
.text_1 {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.text_1_description {
color: #990000;
}
text_1 represent the style for the entire text_1 block of text, while text_1_description represents the style for only the description-text in the text_1 textblock. A textblock(text_1, text_2 etc.) may be built from multiple text items, for example: imageindex, title, description.
In the example above, the default color for the entire textblock is set to white(FFFFFF). However, the color for the description part of the textblock is set to red(99000). The attribute set in the text_1_description will win over the color set in text_1, unless you remove the setting in the text_1_description.
