This is no such info in the MediaWiki:Common.css page and I don't understand HTML well enough to really tell where the Infobox class is but I know where I found this formatting I wanted was a Wikia site and the infobox's code includes |class=color1 colspan=2 style=text-align: center;

Those are part of the wiki design tools that Wikia has. The easiest thing to do would be to use the inspect tool brion mentioned, which also tells you what css rules are applied to the element, and use it to recreate the css classes you need. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire)
