Vigilance theme is defaulting background color. Unchangeable.

You may need to edit the theme’s stylesheet to change the background-color.

i am having the exact same problem, and editing the theme’s stylesheet(s) is getting me nowhere.

when i inspect the body background element, it’s pulling a background color from a stylesheet that only defines itself as ‘Null’ – no path or anything. no matter where i change it, i can’t get it to override.

I had the same problem. Try adding this to your stylesheet (style.css):

.home { background-color: #000; }

You need the .home body class name to make changes to the background.

You will also need to add these, otherwise only the homepage background will change:

.single-post { background-color: #000; }
.page-template { background-color: #000; }
