Part 3.4: Different Coloured Text
If you would like to change the font colour for a whole class, you can open the CSS Rule Definition box from the CSS Panel as described above. All this is covered in our comprehensive Dreamweaver course in Brighton, Sussex.
Simply place your cursor within text that has that class applied to it, double click and change the colour in the Rule Definition box.
When you hit OK, all of the text in that class will be updated to the new colour you’ve chosen.
However if you want to change the colour of a small piece of text without changing the rest of the class:
Select your chosen piece of text with the cursor.
In the Properties panel at the bottom of the page, click on the CSS button (if not already selected) and click on the colour box to the right of the size options (see picture)

Now pick a colour from the palette and create a new class as before with a clear name – for instance “redcoursedescription” if you’ve changed the text to red. Again, make sure you select the twoColLiqLtHdr.css stylesheeet in the Rule Definition box.
