       #page {
           background-color: #D3D6D7;
           margin: 0 auto;
           max-width: 1024px;
       }
       ```
   
 * change the auto to 8% or 100px or 1.2em
    as for the color of the margins, you
   can change this in your admin – appearance – theme setting / background

 * By keeping auto is it possible to change the background margin color?

 * background margin color does not exist.
    use:
 *     ```
       body {
           background-color: blue;
       }
       ```
   
 * or what ever color you want.

 * Actually I mean page margin color. I changed it into #4012a2; from theme option.
   but it does not work. Still it looks like white.

 * **margin color does not exist**
    Your page has this in its header:
 *     ```
       <style type="text/css" id="custom-background-css">
       body.custom-background { background-color: #f1f1f1; }
       </style>
       ```
   
 * so that’s either your theme or a plugin.
    If you are editing the css in your 
   theme settings page, found at appearance – background / theme options if there
   is one. This would be added by a plugin.
 * If you have a back up of your wp-content folder on a local machine, you could
   do an in file search for “custom-background-css” if you don’t know where this
   style is being added from.
