Color Change in DD Tab Menu (beginner problem)

[laine]

1) Script Title: DD Tab Menu

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/ddtabmenu.htm

3) Describe problem: I'm a complete beginner at any sort of webdesign other than the basic html. I was working with the DD tab menu and I havn't been able to change the starting colour of the text from black to #D6CF28.

I've tryed adding it here:

.basictab ul{
margin: 4px;
padding: 3px 0;
margin-left: 0;
font: bold 12px Verdana;
border-bottom: 1px #ECE65D;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center; /*set to left, center, or right to align the menu as desired*/
color: #D6CF28;
}

And here:

.basictab li{
display: inline;
margin: 0;
color: #D6CF28;
}

But it hasn't changed the color at all. I know this is probley fixed very simpley, so thank you in advance for your time.

.basictab li a{
text-decoration: none;
padding: 3px 7px;
margin-right: 3px;
border: 1px solid gray;
border-bottom: none;
background-color: #f6ffd5;
color: #2d2b2b;
}

.basictab li a:visited{
color: #2d2b2b;
}

.basictab li a:hover, .basictab li a.current{
background-color: #DBFF6C;
color: black;
}

.basictab li a:active{
color: black;
}
