Hi, I am trying to find the theme setting to change the color of the “2 Attempts Remaining” when I use the Multiple Choice Question Component.  
The Attempts Counter section in theme does not seem to affect this.

Hi Samantha,

The Attempts Counter section is what controls the look of this by default so i am wondering if you have an article style applied to the article containing the MCQ which is overriding this?
