ASFAIK their is a order in which color, formats, font-style and so on
are used:

Specified by style-Attribut
Specified by font-tag
Specified in internal Stylesheets
Specified in external Stylesheets

To override any specification which is above in the list with any which
below add a !important to that style.
Example:

font{
font: Verdana;!important
color: Green;!important
}
