We informed in template and Helix documenation to NOT TOUCH those files:
template.css, default.css and preset1.css. and why !

You have to add your custom CSS code here

/templates/gourmand/css/custom.css

Yes, you have to create this file first!

Hi,

About menu items colors - tips from here should work: https://www.joomshaper.com/documentation/helix-framework/helixultimate/faq-how-to-do

BTW

  1. As you know We cannot teach CSS here, but sometimes it's good to use "!important" to force color inside custom styles. Or add ID of he column above (as I did below).
  2. Use Code Inspector from your browser. This tool helps a lot, if you know the basic of CSS.
  3. Always use custom.css file or Custom CSS from template options. Do not edit template.css file !!

Example Style for Main Menu that works:

#sp-menu .sp-megamenu-parent > li:hover > a {color: red;}
#sp-menu .sp-megamenu-parent > li > a {color: black;}

I tried changing the CSS in css/template.css and in css/presets/default.css and in css/presets/preset1.css. nothing suceed. In few minutes, something overwrite the .css and go back to the previous .css file, undoing my changes.

I tried changing it in helix presets selecting custom, and nothing suceed.

That's why we always suggest to read template and framework documenation first.
