Hi!

New VPPR here

How do I change the font colour of the text that appears at the bottom of the page (the one below)?

What is going on here is that the JavaScript code sets the text color of the disclaimer to be whichever of white or black is calculated to have the best contrast and readability relative to whatever the background color is. Since users can set any website background color they want, we calculate the best text color (white or black) of the disclaimer via a library function (github.com/bgrins/TinyColor#mostreadable). Also, we can not allow clubs to set the disclaimer text color, since some club would likely set the text color to be white on a white background (for example) to hide the disclaimer--we cannot allow that.

The disclaimer must be visible... therefore, we must have the code determine the text color for it that will be most visible and readable. We cannot allow clubs to set that text color. This will not be changed.
