xaringan slides - change base font color

[Kevin]

Hi,

I am struggling to see how I can change the base text color in xaringan via custom css - h1 etc. is fine. The problem is really just the "normal" text.

body {
    font-family: 'Ubuntu';
    color: #mycolor;
}

does not work.

Thanks!

How do you specify this in your YAML header ? The CSS rule should work ok.

It works if I used css chunk to change style from within the document

output:
  xaringan::moon_reader: default

```{css, echo = FALSE}
body {
  color: red;
}
```

Thanks! A bit embarassing but my test color was too dark - it already worked but was almost indistinguishable from black x/ Red did the trick! Apologies and maybe it helps someone else googling for it...
