Hey! When text is the same colour as its background, you are usually able to highlight it which will reveal its colour against a blue selection. This is a good way for testing if text is really there. Or, you can use 'view page source' to see if the text is in fact there.

To change the colour of text, use the CSS 'color' property. Take note that it MUST be spelled 'color', and not the other spelling of 'colour'.

It can be used like this:

h1 {
    color: white;
}

/* Anchor element aka link, is by default a blue-ish colour I believe */ 
a {
    color: white;
}
