Changing Color of Strike-Through?

[fonetiks]

Hi all! I know how to change the colors of bold, italics, and underline in the Custom CSS area of the journal customization. (I am using Crisped, if this makes any difference.) I am wondering if there is a way to also change the color of a strike-through? I am using this for the rest:
i {color: #49d1ff;}
b {color: #ffffff;}
u {color: #f8d832;}

Any help would be so very appreciated! Thank you!

To answer your specific question:

strike, del {color: #color}

Now, some more information on how to get the look you want (most of the time):

For italic text, the source you're viewing (assuming you want these styles to apply to posts on your reading page, not just your own) should be using em tags most of the time, so saying:

i, em {color: #49d1ff} will get most of the italicized text in the colour you like.

Similarly add strong to your code for b tags, as it is more often the correct tag that is producing bold text.

For those wondering when to use which tag, it's complicated, but if the purpose of the tag is to emphasize the text, not just decorate it, use em or strong. And if the strikethrough means the item is deleted, use del. (And if you care at all about lower vision users, don't ever use strike or del on text you actually expect anyone to read--you know like items in a list of requests that are solved in the comments below.)

Thank you SO MUCH! My best friend is blind so fortunately I know about working around things for him so he can read my DW (and I'm just barely blind, so at times it applies to me), so I appreciate you mentioning this for others. And thank you for taking the time to explain.

The code

s {color: #XXXXXX;}

Will also work for a strike-through code.

Yep. That is exactly what I ended up having to try. ;o) Thanks!
