You can quickly master CSS if you do not have experience with CSS by using the W3 Schools site – http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
Additional Information
One of the most useful tools for using CSS in real sites is Firebug (which is an add-on for Firefox). Also demonstrated in this video is ColorZilla which is an incredibly useful tool for setting colors in web sites.
Learning how to use the developer tools in your browser will also assist you in learning CSS and how pages are styled. You must learn to use the inspector tool – that will prove invaluable to you. Personally I prefer the tools built into the Chrome browser.
