If I have a css code like this:

body { color:#000; font-family:Arial; font-size:62.5%; padding:0;  margin:0; }

ul { margin-left:24px; }

li { color:#ffffff; }

#divID { height:50px; }

#divID li { padding-right:10px; }

Will the text in #divID li borrow properties from li and make the text white?

Short answer: Yup. Unless you override it with a more specific selector and color it'll inherit (hence the Cascade in Cascading Style Sheets)
