 * Hi Camille,
 * Thanks for using Tracks!
 * The following CSS will change the background to white, and adjust the menu and
   site title to be a dark gray so they stay visible.
 *     ```
       body,
       .excerpt,
       .main,
       .menu-primary-items ul {
       	background: #fff !important;
       }
       #site-header {
       	background-color: #fff;
       }
       #menu-primary-items a,
       #title-info a {
       	color: #404040;
       }
       .site-title a,
       .site-description {
         color: #404040 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can copy and paste that code into the “Custom CSS” section in the Customizer(
   Appearance > Customize). Once added there, it should take affect right away.

 * How would you change the background colour (slightly lighter than black, but 
   keep the text background white? I managed to do this earlier on, but after losing
   the changes I cant keep the text area white :/

 * To only affect the background, use the following CSS:
 *     ```
       body,
       .excerpt,
       .main,
       .menu-primary-items ul {
       	background: #ccc !important;
       }
       #site-header {
       	background-color: #ccc;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can change the #ccc hexadecimal color code to any color you’d like.
