Some people are just trying to learn. * Try this: * body{ background: orange; } header.tc-header { background: none; } * Thread Starter [arnold_chandra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arnold_chandra/) * (@arnold_chandra) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-background-colour-1/#post-3904037) * thanks sdrawkcab and yes im in my very learning stage and doing my first website Im sure everyone goes through what im going through “learning” where do we place those codes? * Arnold * [ElectricFeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/electricfeet/) * (@electricfeet) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-background-colour-1/#post-3904039) * Go to Customiz’It! and put the text in the Custom CSS field at the bottom. Code that you put there overrides the theme’s code, so be careful what you put in there–in particular, the syntax has to be correct. * Thread Starter [arnold_chandra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arnold_chandra/) * (@arnold_chandra) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-background-colour-1/#post-3904055) * Thanks ElectricFeet 🙂 works, managed to change back ground colour. what happens now is my txt that is by default in black is not as visible, do I have to change that to white? or is there a way around it * please advise * Best Regards Arnold * [GerritN](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerritn/) * (@gerritn) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-background-colour-1/#post-3904057) * Hi there arnold_chandra.

If you change it at the right place it will change it for the rest of your site. * Thread Starter [arnold_chandra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arnold_chandra/) * (@arnold_chandra) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-background-colour-1/#post-3904061) * Hi GerritN, oh cool that will save a lot of time, could you advise where and how I could do this? * Best Regards Arnold * Thread Starter [arnold_chandra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arnold_chandra/) * (@arnold_chandra) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-background-colour-1/#post-3904075) * Hi GerritN I found a way that managed to change the font colour * Under Appearance > Themes > Customize, click on Custom CSS and add this code: * body { color: [add your color here]; } * That should do it.
