# Changing Margin Color

 * The colors of the margins on my site, [http://www.eatingwithgrace.com](http://www.eatingwithgrace.com),
   are not the same color as the pages or sidebar of the site (they are displaying
   the default background color of my theme, which is Bouquet), causing these ugly
   white and light blue boxes around my pages and sidebar. I have read that margin
   colors cannot be changed, but I also read in another forum that the margin color
   can be changed by setting a background color to ‘left’, ‘right’ and ‘content’?
   However, I don’t quite understand what that means, and that forum topic is closed.
   I tried finding a ‘left’ and ‘right’ tag in my .css, but there isn’t one.
 * If I try to get rid of the margins altogether, the entire site shifts to the 
   left instead of being centered the way I want.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * This sounds more of a CSS issue than WordPress, therefore support should be sought
   on a [CSS forum](http://csscreator.com/forum).
