    Inline styles are those defined in the HTML itself, e.g. 

      <p>
        This is an 
        <strong style="color: red;">inline style that should be blue</strong>.
    </p>

    Inline styles have the highest priority of all CSS. In general, I would recommend you avoid using them and place your CSS declarations in external files. However, you may not have that luxury if you do not have direct access to the HTML code.

    Fortunately, there is a way to override inline styles from an external style-sheet:

    strong[style] { color: blue !important; }
