Hello,

Here is a topic about the same question. 🙂 The solution and the why is in the answers.

> [@CSS Change username color for entire Custom Groups, works sometimes then doesn't?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/css-change-username-color-for-entire-custom-groups-works-sometimes-then-doesnt/249110):
>
> I’m not sure what exactly is doing it but a(ny) CSS code I use to do this seems to turn on and off at random, I don’t know if it’s from an update, some setting, etc… The one I’ve used for the longest is .topic-post .Veeps a { color: #66FF00; } With “Veeps” being my Custom Group. It was working as of either yesterday or the day prior but I noticed today all the colors except the ones linked to specific usernames are back to default, on every theme. I made a new theme and wiped all modification…
