Change Color of Black Header Box in Hemingway

In the future, theme author might put in the option for users to change title box color, also the nav bar color.

Meanwhile you can try this CSS code below, use it under Jetpack’s Custom CSS module, but you need to activate it if not already yet.

body .blog-info { background: rgba(128, 105, 15, 0.85); }
body .blog-title a:hover { color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); }
body .blog-description::before { background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8) }
body .blog-description { color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85); }
body .section.bg-dark { background: #2b2407; }

I am the newest of newbies when it comes to all this and mucking around in the code seems as much fun as poking pins in my eyes. I do have the Jetpack Custom CSS but when I open it this is all it has in it.

Where would I put the block of code you provided? Thank you so much for your help

Put the code under that thing, or just replace it.

In CSS, anything enclosed in this /* and this */ is CSS comment, meaning the system will just ignore anything inside it.

WOW!!!! It worked! I was terrified to try it because I thought I might “break” the theme but It’s like magic. I am so grateful. I used Color Picker to choose a color of one of the trees in the picture that I wanted the box to be but wasn’t sure how it would look. It is so cool that you can see the background image through it. If I wanted to change the menu bar from black to that same color, would I plug that same piece of code in somewhere else? Look at the site and see how nice it looks.

The menu bar color is at the last line, now it’s set as #2b2407 which is dark brown, might not be noticeable because it’s subtle, keep it as is or change that value to your liking.

I actually got the courage to play with it some more using the codes from Color Picker and I have it exactly where I want it.

Thank you so much for your help.
