Changing background color around blog

    I’m working on my site (https://www.shotsfromthephone.com) and currently the entire background is white. I want to change it to where the background on each side of the blog is black, and keep the blog area white.

    I’ve figured out how to change it to black, but when I do then it changes the entire background black, not just the area around the blog. Below is the main style sheet (i have a separate “style” that I am making changes to), if someone can tell me where I’m going wrong I would appreciate it.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Sorry for the long code before.

    I believe this is where the problem is. If I change the background color below to black the whole blog goes black.

    /* Main structure
----------------------------------------------- */
body { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 76%; line-height: 120%; color: #404040; background: #fff; }
#wrapper { text-align: left; }
body.rtl #wrapper { text-align: right; direction: rtl; }
	#header, #content { margin-bottom: 2em; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; }
	#footer, #theme-info, #footer-include { clear: both; }

    Also here’s the entire code on pastebin.

    Thanks

    Try editingt style.css and changing:

    body.skyline {
background:#fff;
color:#404040;
font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size:76%;
line-height:120%;
}
body.centre #wrapper {
margin:0 auto;
}

    to:

    body.skyline {
background:#000;
color:#fff;
font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size:76%;
line-height:120%;
}
body.centre #wrapper {
background:#fff;
color:#404040;
margin:0 auto;
}
