Change page color

    I am trying to change the color of my pages (not background) in the responsive theme. I am not an expert. So I was wondering if someone can help guide me through the process? I already downloaded firebug on firefox. I am able to go to my website and right click on my page to hit inspect element. I see the code and color, and I’ve had success with changing the color of my pages temporarily. Of course when I refresh, the page goes back to normal. But I copy the codes and go back to dashboard, appearance, editor, stylesheet (style.css) However, when I try to find what I need to edit, I simply can’t. The stylesheet is only one page long. I barely see any codes. Why? I have the first step right in reference to me finding the code with firebug, but when I go into my dashboard/ stylesheet.css, I don’t see anything. Plus the page is really short. Can anyone help me?

    In responsive theme this is not the correct stylesheet which need to be update. Follow the below path to find the correct one:

    wp-content->Themes->responsive->core->css->style.css

    You cannot go to this path using the Dashboard. You have to use ftp or cpanel to do that.

    Actually, you can access style.css from the dashboard- which jenksandartt said they did already.

    Go to: Appearance –> Themes –> Editor. Select the theme that you are using, and once it loads, find the style.css file in the right-hand column.

    jenksandartt, CSS changes can be complicated, and often it’s not a matter of just cutting and pasting changes that you have made in Firebug.

    I don’t have super-strong CSS skills myself, but if you want to post the URL here, along with the changes that you’re trying to effect, someone might be able to give you a suggestion or two. (Clearly, we don’t have the bandwidth to help you re-style your whole site, but if you are making just a change or two, you might find help for that.)

    Thanks for your responses. When I get to the styles.css page. At the top-right, it says, select theme to edit. There’s a drop down box that says responsive. (I have the responsive theme) But there is a drop down box that says, twenty-eleven, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, and twenty twelve. I picked responsive as the theme to edit, but that page is very short, with barely nothing to edit. But the rest of those choices I mentioned above has a lot to edit. Which one should I edit if my responsive doesn’t have much to edit?
