Sincerest apologies! I seemed to have overlooked replying to you.

1. Which template are you using? Most templates by default do not show the notes fields. The free core templates, none of those show the notes field.

2. You can use the following CSS to override the color:

#test-00-test-2 span.cn-last-updated {
    color: black !important;
}

I hope that helps!
