Changing the colour of the cloze brackets and text

Hello,

I am so lost in how/where to change the colour of my clozed text when viewing a card. I cannot see the text with the colour i have now as it is almost exactly the same as my background (they are both a light blue)

  1. Open the note editor and click on “Cards…”.
  2. Go to styling.
  3. You should see some CSS code. Change the colors there.

It should look like this:

.card {
    font-family: arial;
    font-size: 20px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    text-align: center;
    color: black;
    background-color: white;
}
.cloze {
    font-weight: bold;
    color: red;
}
.nightMode .cloze {
    color: magenta;
}

You can also change the text color by changing the color: black; to color: lime !important;.

You can learn more from the manual.
