how do I make the fonts in Safari a darker color. They are a light grey now and hard to read.

You can't. Customizing the size/style/color/type of font is not possible in Safari. You're stuck with what Safari renders for that particular website.

Actually you can specify your own stylesheet in Safari, the accepted answer is wrong…
In 'Safari > Preferences, Advanced tab' select a 'style sheet' with rules that override the text that is the wrong colour.
I have a plain text file called 'styles.css' with the following lines…
p {
font: 69px "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif !important;
font-size: 69px !important;
color:#f0f !important;
background-color: #0c0 !important;
}
I set that in as file for the 'style sheet' in the Advanced preferences & now this discussions site looks like…
You can make rules for any element on the page that is styled via CSS.

Obviously this is complex & you may find yourself redesigning someone else's site only to have it change when they alter the markup, but minor annoyances can be easily tweaked if you can find a way to target that element specifically. The ' !important ' setting is used to try to force the browser to obey that rule when another one conflicts.
HINT: Toggle the style sheet setting from 'none' to your modified version to refresh the display
You can also use 'bookmarklets' to remove styles on any conventional webpage…

I believe there will be examples for 'accessibility' stylesheets if you look around, these 'user stylesheets' can help people with poor vision. Or you can use an extension to disable stylesheets altogether.

Thank you for your help.
