Question

Please say there’s a simpler/shorter way to write this CSS:

.ads h3{
color: #f7f7f7;
}
.ads p{
color: #f7f7f7;
}
.ads blockquote{
color: #f7f7f7;
}

It’s a right pain at the moment and takes up space in the CSS file…

Answer 1

God says: “Yes”

“Your prayers have been answered my child”

.ads h3, .ads p, .ads blockquote {
    color: #F7F7F7;
}

And even taking it further (if there are no child elements which should not be colored as well):

.ads * {
    color: #F7F7F7;
}

And if you’re OK with the text inside the paragraph itself to also have this same gray color:

.ads {
    color: #f7f7f7;
}

This will be overridden by any other styles that have been set on p, blockquote or h3, so you might want to take it further:

.ads, .ads * {
    color: #f7f7f7;
}
