Whatever they told you there they have told you wrong since that section is only about editing the background colour not the font colour.

The best thing to do when editing themes in Dolphin and Orca (and any CSS based site really) is to use a free tool called XRay. http://www.westciv.com/xray/
You'll need Firefox to use it or IE 6 (doesn't work with IE7 or IE8)
But you go to your webpage that you want to edit, click on the XRay button you get from that website above then click on the font/area see more you want to change. It'll tell you the CSS class name that controls that section. Then search for the name in your main.css file and edit it there.
Job done.
