Change font and background color in twenty fourteen

Here’s what worked for me in terms of changing bg colour. In you child theme paste this

/*change background color*/
#main,
.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-meta,
.page-content {
	background: #f3f3f3;
}

I’m just playing with fonts now

I did as said above to change the background color. However, only the top bacground in the page-content changes, the bottom part of it, is still white…with no any changes. Does any1 have idea on changing the top as well as bottom part of the background in 1 go…..

try changing background-color:#fff to #000 …located here in the css

/**
 * 3.0 Basic Structure
 * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 */

.site {
	background-color: #fff;
	max-width: 1260px;
	position: relative;
}

Not sure about changing the type color.
