font colour is on the page.

Not really too much to explain...

I copied the source for the table that the problem is in,
and your css file, I tried changing the color in there and
your text changed colors


: can you explain in more detail please?

if you have time, please explain for my knowledge as im faily new to
frontpage what is the css file and how does it work?

You have a CSS Style applied to you page, in the HEAD section as:
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

So normally it would control the appearance of items defined in your style sheet
- in your case the style class ".list" is applied to the table cell in <td class="list" ...> and to the links in that cell
Look at your style sheet

But then you have applied inline styles (rule over external styles) to the cells (padding & height) and text links (span tags and
font color tags) - html tags rule over any style sheets

PS
you have an extra </a> in the link
<a style="color: #707070; text-decoration: underline" href="Logos/LogoMain.html"> Logo Designs</a></a>
- delete it
