 * If you’re using Twenty Ten, you should be able to change the background colour
   under Appearance.
 * For the header, you’ll need to look for the branding div. It;s on line 518. For
   example, the style below will change it to red.
 *     ```
       #branding {
       border-top: 2px solid #bbb;
       padding-bottom: 10px;
       position: relative;
       z-index: 9999;
       background: red;
       }
       ```
   
 * I’m not sure what you mean about the margin colour.
 * You should do this with a child theme though, because if you make changes and
   there’s an update, you’ll loose your changes.

 * I am using twenty eleven theme. I could change the header color but body color
   was not changed. Any other instruction for changing body color will be appreciated.
