Hi, am seeking some help with custom css for font color.

saw this post with the suggestion to force this on the .regular class in settings-\> appearance-\>custom css

> Hi: I am working with the new (not classic) phone app style. I would like to change all the text color to black (not the grey that is the default for body text). I have a business account so can add custom css but cannot work out the correct way to do this. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks Paul

however this forced all text with .regular class to be black. my goal is for a custom class so i can choose which text is using black. I have tried adding !important to override but it didnt help:  
.black {  
color: #000 !important;  
}

Thank you!

Have you added the custom class name to the text element you’re using on the screen?

Also, it can be .customClassName then adding a class for text afterwards, not just .customClassName.
