Changing text colors in sidebar

[dreadfulpenny81]

I know this is a fairly common question, but I went through the tags and didn't find the answer I was looking for. I'm using a Plus Account and I'm using the Mixit Kaboom Brothers Graffiti layout (Pixmix). I want to change the color of all the links (except the links in the header) from gray to black. That includes the links under the entry for comments (SOLVED). I also want to change the colors of the links in the sidebar (you know, Tags, Latest Month, Profile, etc.) from that maroon color to maybe teal or blue to match the colors in my header banner. My piddly style sheet is under the cut. Any help would be really appreciated!
