bbpress forum sticky background

Hello,
I’m using bbpress on my website and the forum matches that of the live demo…
I’m trying to change the color of the sticky post backgrounds. It’s currently an off white….. I went into the bbpress.css and edited the following the be the color I wanted instead of the stock color

/* =Stickies
————————————————————– */

.bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky,
.bbp-topics ul.super-sticky,
.bbp-topics ul.sticky,
.bbp-forum-content ul.sticky {
background-color: #373e43 !important;
font-size: 1.1em;
}

When I changed the default color that was there to 373e43, no change took place. Its as if the file was never edited, but yet it reads that color code that I want for the sticky post backgrounds.

This is a must change because the default off white color is next to impossible to read the thread post

Anyone know whats going on?

Thanks in advance
