Change Color of the Background in Twenty Thirteen

Create child theme and add this to style.css

body {
background-color: #000;
}

Just replace #000 with the colour that you want.

Sorry…that was correct…that did it..thank you.

Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting. Or use whatever developer tool is available in your web browser.

Please post a link to your site for help with CSS?

Sorry…I posted too quickly. I was thinking content area…not background.. so all is ok now.
Thanks all

would I use the same code to change the background in the main content area? I am also using twenty thirteen.
