 * Hey there mvillasbali, hope you’re well today!
 * This is most likely possible with adding some custom CSS. Could you please provide
   a link to your page where you want this to be changed so I can take a look?
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * Hey again Kimberly,
 * Not exactly sure what you’re trying to change, but if you are referring to header
   when you say column [http://screencast.com/t/dEhs6zoxzZ5A](http://screencast.com/t/dEhs6zoxzZ5A)
   then try adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of your [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   or add it in your site using the following plugin if your theme doesn’t have 
   custom CSS tab.
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 *     ```
       .header {
       background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
       }
       ```
   
 * This should change the color if the header. You’ll have to replace the color 
   to the one you want. First three numbers represents color and the last represents
   transparency where 0 is transparent. You can find more info about rgba colors
   here
 * [http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors_legal.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors_legal.asp)
 * You can create your rgba color here:
 * [http://html-generator.weebly.com/css-rgba-color-generator.html](http://html-generator.weebly.com/css-rgba-color-generator.html).
 * If you’re looking to change the content area and footer color you can do the 
   similar by adding this CSS:
 *     ```
       #content {
       background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
       }
   
       #colophon {
       background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps. Happy new year!
 * Cheers,
    Bojan

 * Hi Bojan,
 * I would like to know if it is possible to only change the color of header on 
   the ‘homepage’
 * I used the CSS code and it worked, but now the color of the header on all sub
   pages also changed.
 * I look forward to hearing from you.

 * Hey there Kimberly,
 * Hope you’re well today!
 * Using home selector should do the trick and change the header color only on home
   page. So for example the code should look like this:
 *     ```
       .home .header {
       background: rgba(110,104,104,0.5);
       }
       ```
   
 * This should change the header color only on home page.
 * I suggest opening another thread in the future for the sake of other members 
   who are looking to do similar things 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Bojan
