      Hi,

      Would like to change or experiment with a different background color other than white. How would I do this. Is it the customizer that I have to use?

        There are a couple ways to do this by customizing your style.css file. The first way is to change the main background for the body (look for the following code around line 150) –

        body {
        	background-color: #fff;
        	color: #333;
        	font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
        	font-size: 20px;
        	font-size: 2.0rem;
        	font-weight: 300;
        	line-height: 1.625;
        	margin: 0;
        }<!--formatted-->

        Then change the .site-inner background color around line 651 –

        .site-inner {
        	background-color: #fff;
        	clear: both;
        	margin-top: 170px;
        	position: relative;
        	z-index: 9;
        	-word-wrap: break-word;
        }

        ^ That controls the inner content background color.

        And finally, if you’re using Widgets in your Sidebar area, you can change the background color for those around line 1983 –

        .sidebar .widget {
        	background-color: #fff;
        	margin-bottom: 40px;
        }

        ^ Each widget has a white background color, so that’s why you’d need to change it.

        An easier way to do this would be to leave the body background-color code as it is and change the color to what you want it to be. Then remove the background colors for the .site-inner and the .sidebar .widget. This would make it easier so you would only have to change 1 line of code instead of 3.

        If you need assistance changing this code just let me know and I can log in and do it for you.

        Let me know if this helps.
