Change background colors for dummies.

Have you checked the snippets?

Specifically, this one?

Try adding this at the end of your style.css

body {
background: #ffccff;
}

As a beginner, there’s lots of documentation for you to look at.

Start here, but take a look at the left sidebar where there is a list of other Guides you should browse.

Loads of code snippets available. Take a look at this one

No, I don’t know how does it function: for example where I can find the place for insert/change data?

I’m a “complete A+ class” beginner, please sorry!

Tks.

@rdellconsulting:

I’m inside the panel of my site.

I have founded “Custom CSS”, ok?

Click on it.

“Copy, paste and translate by Google Translator:
Add your CSS
Add here your custom css and draws live! (for advanced users)
Always use this field for your CSS instead of modifying the style.css of the theme. It will not be deleted when the theme is updated. You can also paste your CSS in a child theme style.css.”

There’s a rectangle where I can paste something: what may I do now?

Yes: I have copy/pasted “MAIN BODY CONTAINERS” text and I have discovered that is simply change colors simply writing the name of the color where is “pink” word.
But I need a light shade of violet. How I can obtain this?
Tks.

You could try a site like ColorPicker to find the right color. Once you have the color you like, copy the six-character code in the text box and paste it into your custom CSS box (in place of the word “pink”). Don’t forget to put a # in front of the six-character code.

The problem is solved.
SUMMARY:
To change the background color must:
– Click on the link suggested by rdellconsulting: one
– The page is divided into several steps (header, footer, etc …).
– The gray bar above each step, click on the fourth icon from the left (copy) and ? + C keys to copy and ? + V to paste the entire text of the window.
– This is pasted in the rectangle visible in the admin bar on the left under the voice “Custom CSS”
– The default color is pink.
– With the “ColorPicker” find the right color. Once you have the color you like, copy the six-character code in the text box and paste it into your custom CSS box (in place of the word “pink”). Do not forget to put a # in front of the six-character code.

If you do it’s easy.

Thanks to all.
