   Hi, I would like to change my Blix blockquote background color from its existing white color to a very light shade of grey. Hope someone can help.

   Thanks Tezzer

   PS Is there a lighter shade of grey than #cccccc

   The lightest is FEFEFE, but I like FCFCFC.

   The background-color thing really depends on your theme. Open up your CSS file, search it (CTRL+F) for blockquote and change its background: or background-color: value. Good luck.

   Thanks for the colors, but I still can't find where to change the blockquote background color.

   I searched layout CSS and got this:

   blockquote {
   margin:0;
   padding:0 18px;
   font-style:normal;

   There is nothing there about background color

   I searched Spring Flavor CSS (Blix theme) and got nothing?

   Can anyone help?

   If a property does not exist in a css declaration, then you need only add it. So take:

   blockquote {
margin:0;
padding:0 18px;
font-style:normal;
}

   and make it:

   blockquote {
margin:0;
padding:0 18px;
font-style:normal;
background-color: #ccc;
}

   Modify the color value to whatever suits.

   Thanks, I made the changes and was able to change the blockquote color to CCCCCC, but not to these lighter colors: FEFEFE or FCFCFC.

   Any suggestions?

   Thanks, I have fixed it now. For some reason the light grey colors that were suggested didn't work, but this one did F5F5F5

   Thanks again
