Template button colour

[John Magill]

Can anyone please tell me why the text and background colour seems to be having no effect, whereas the other attributes. eg. fontsize are ?

<style>

  .filled { height: 100%; padding: 0; margin: 0;}

   .rounded {border-radius: 20% 20% 20% 20%;}

   .bigfont { font-size: 36px;}

   .blue {background-color: #3498db;}

   .textred {color: #e74c3c;}

</style>

<md-button class="filled rounded bigfont blue textred" 

ng-click="send({payload: 'Hello World'})"> 

    Click<br/>me 

</md-button>

Have you tried adding !important in the CSS after the hex code

Thanks Glenn, that worked.
