How to change the color of the text boxes in my theme?

    Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out how to change the color the boxes that surround the posted comments on my website (www.ezomz.com). Currently the boxes are white. The problem is that I’d like to have all the non-link text on my site be white too, and obviously white text on a white box is invisible (see here: http://www.ezomz.com/?p=223). So, for now I’ve changed all the text to gray so it’s visible, but I don’t want to keep it like that if at all possible. I have some experience editing css so I opened up the stylesheet for the theme I’m using (Outbreak Green), but I couldn’t figure out which part controls the color of the text boxes, or if I’m even in the right place. Any idea how I could go about doing this?

    It’s this code that does it:

    li.byuser {
	background: #f6f7f8;
	}

    Removing that and adding:

    #commentlist li { background-color:yourcolor; }

    Should do the trick.

    Thanks for your help WizardRegis! I tried looking for that line of code in the outbreakgreen.css file and couldn’t find it, but I added the #commentlist li line and it worked!
