[SOLVED] Having trouble setting the font colour in 'Body, text & links'

Hi there,

Firstly I just want to say the Atahualpa theme is really fantastic, I'm glad I discovered it!!

I'm having a problem setting the default font colour. Heres what I've got in the body style section:

padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em;
color: #000000;
background: transparent url(/pp/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/background-transp2.png) no-repeat center top;

But for some reason the font inside the posts is white. My background is also white, so this is bad.

What am I doing wrong?? Thanks in advance for any help!
