Is there a reset button?

I have just taken over a concrete5 site. I am having trouble doing simple things like changing fonts and font colors. I change the color and it looks fine in the edit and editor, but once it is published the color is lost. There is a font which is used on the site but does not appear in any of the drop downs. Basically it seems as though the whole thing is screwed. Or I am missing something important? If I look at the theme I can change the colors of the headings (h1 etc) but there is no opportunity to change the font or font size - which I would have thought would be possible. The version is 5.6.3.5 Any help or advice you can give would be much appreciated.
The site is eramboo.com.au , you can see the headings had different fonts which is not a great look for an artist's site.

Your font styles are being written as 'in-line', which means they are coded directly into the document rather than using css declarations from a css file.
In-Line styling will take precedence over any css style sheet styling.
To fix this you need to create css class declarations and then declare the class in your document (instead of writing it directly)
Example, you have this written in-line 
<span style="font-family: 'arial black', 'avant garde'; font-size: x-large; font-style: normal; text-transform: uppercase; color: #ff0000;">Artist Residency Program 2018</span>

If you create a class called 'large-red' (for example) in your style sheet like this 
.large-red { font-family: 'arial black', 'avant garde'; font-size: x-large; font-style: normal; text-transform: uppercase; color: #ff0000; }

and just enter it as 
<span class="large-red">Artist Residency Program 2018</span>

You can then make changes to that class for all instances of 'large-red' in your site.
