By default, there is no option to change post title color in Blogger Designer Templates. I've already written a tutorial to do that but users of Picture Window template are having problems. Here is a tutorial to change post title color in Picture Window template.

Note: If you're using other templates then see this tutorial:

Steps to Change Post Title Color in Picture Window Template


  1. Open the Template section.
  2. Blogger Updated Dashboard
  3. Click the Edit HTML button.
  4. Blogger Edit HTML Button
  5. A new window will open. You'd have to click the Proceed button to start editing.
  6. Blogger Proceed Button
  7. Find the following code:
       <Group description="Post Title" selector="h3.post-title, .comments h4">
         <Variable name="post.title.font" description="Title Font" type="font"
             default="normal normal 18px Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" value="normal normal 18px Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif"/>
       </Group>

    Tip: You can press 'Ctrl + f' keys or simply scroll down the HTML a bit to find the code.

  8. Replace the previous code with the following code:
       <Group description="Post Title" selector="h3.post-title, .comments h4">
         <Variable name="post.title.font" description="Title Font" type="font"
             default="normal normal 18px Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" value="normal normal 18px Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif"/>
         <Variable name="post.title.color" description="Color" type="color" default="#FE6602" value="#FE6602"/>
    <Variable name="post.title.hover.color" description="Hover Color" type="color" default="#FFD25F" value="#FFD25F"/>
       </Group>
  9. Now find this code:
    h3.post-title {
      margin: 0;
      font: $(post.title.font);
    }
  10. Replace the above code with this code:
    h3.post-title {
      margin: 0;
      font: $(post.title.font);
      color: $(post.title.color);
    }
    
    h3.post-title a {
      color: $(post.title.color);
    }
    
    h3.post-title a:hover {
      color: $(post.title.hover.color);
    }
  11. Click Save template and then Close button.
  12. Blogger Save Template Close Buttons
  13. Now go to Template Designer then Advanced and edit the Post Title option.


  14. You can simply edit the post color and post hover color from here.
  15. Enjoy!

  3. Hi~ I have a small but complicated problem. I don't know if my english is good enough or not for you to understand. Anyway, the problem is this. I can change my post text color. But I cannot add color on it. For example, the default is brown. Then I want to make some words in my blog post to red, so when I typed it I make it red. But when it is posted in my blog, is still brown. Any idea how to solve? Big thanks!

  8. Brilliant! Thanks so much for your help.

    @crivellistreetchronicle I'm sure you've worked it out by now but if anybody else is having the same problem make sure you change BOTH bits of code as I missed the first one and had the same error message as "crivellistreetchronicle"
