Have a look at
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#propdef-list-style-type (section
12.5, Lists)

...basically, you can't just change the bullet points to a colour; the
bullet points inherit the colour of their principal box.

To get around this, you would need to create a coloured graphic, and use
that in the CSS (shown at the bottom of the referenced article), or assign
the text to a different class.

HTH,

Pete.

Two points.

1) you don't have to post twice.

2) try this in the <head> section of the page (this does blue):

<style type="text/css">
<!--
li {
color: #0000CC;list-style-position: inside;list-style-type: disc;

Make that three points. You can also use the method in my previous post on
this subject, to apply an image, as a bullet. Once the "li" style is
created, select "Manage styles" and select the "li" style to edit. Then go
to "Lists" and use your intuition. It's a can of magic.
