Why are you avoiding plugins if I may ask?
Adjusting anything in the core code will have to be redone everytime you upgrade…..I avoid touching any core files like the plague….
It’s meant to be body{background:#fff;}. You can always create a function if you don’t want to use a plugin, so you don’t have to edit core files.

xdesi thanks! the color appears now but the body ends at the bottom of the #form id. Is there a way to extend it all the way down? I tried height:100% but nothing happened..

I don’t like using plugins for theme styling because (from my experience) some of them don’t work or cause some glitch in the theme. And with plugins I can’t do most things I would in the core files.
But I guess i’ll just have to upload the core files every time I upgrade..
It’s because they are defining the background colour for HTML, so you need:
html{ background: #000; } in colors-fresh.
To avoid having to do it every time you upgrade your WP you can add something like this to your themes functions.php file:
function admin_bg(){
echo '<style type="text/css">html{background:#000;}</style>';
}
add_action('login_head', 'admin_bg');
This should add the style code to the head of your login pages.
