Latest post background in white

There isn’t usually a class that is specific for the most recent post and your theme is no exception. You would need to modify your theme’s index.php template to add an extra .recent-post class to the Loop.

I’m actually trying to get rid of the white background but it still shows up as can be seen at https://www.stikehold.net
Which css format id is creating this white color so I can remove it? Many thanks.

style.css:

.home .sticky {
    background: #F2F7FC;
    border-top: 4px solid #000000;
    margin-left: -20px;
    margin-right: -20px;
    padding: 18px 20px;
}

Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of work.
