earendiljade on "Bullet Lists Not Maintaining Body Text Color"

$

My bullet lists are not retaining the text color of the body text and are defaulting to "black" when posted.

Example: http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/goals/

I found some code for the bullet points - but I am not certain where to input said code in the style sheet, if it's even an appropriate code to use and the code that I did find doesn't add text color...and no matter how I played with it trying to add text color, I failed miserably.

Here is the code I found:

#navlist
{
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
list-style: none;
}

#navlist li
{
padding-left: 10px;
background-image: url(images/arrow.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0 .5em;
}

I dug around in my style sheet looking for similar code and found code that was close, but did not match.

My ultimate goal is just to have the bullet points in my posts be the same shade as the rest of the body, instead of the black color that they are defaulting to in my current posts.

I am just learning CSS - and by learning I mean swearing a lot when I screw something up and praying I had saved an earlier draft. This is the first programming language that I have *ever* tried to do anything with - so I am extremely uncertain of my abilities and frustrated frequently. At this point I am almost regretting venturing into make the small changes that I have already made.

Any assistance would be massively appreciated - and please feel free to reply as if you are talking to someone who has no idea what you are talking about...but cause you wouldn't be very far off!
