 * Super plugin – thank you.
 * I’d like to be able to set the background color of headings.
    I can set the foreground
   color, but not the background.
 * I tested this with the default twenty nineteen theme to ensure its not a clash
   with my theme.
 * see reference image [https://ibb.co/FwRgCJK](https://ibb.co/FwRgCJK)
 * Thanks

 * Hey [@ian72](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ian72/) ,
 * Background and text colors on headings is a Gutenberg thing, and is achievable
   by wrapping the heading block with a Group block in the editor.
 * Please see the example: [https://share.getcloudapp.com/v1uyLmzR](https://share.getcloudapp.com/v1uyLmzR)
 * I hope this helps.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@ian72](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ian72/),
 * Can you please check, if it works in the frontend? If it is only not showing 
   the correct color in the editor, it is a known bug which will be adressed in 
   the next major release.
 * Best,
 * Niklas

 * Hi [@eedee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eedee/)
    The text-colour is just
   fine, it plays happily with my custom palette too. I cannot set a background 
   colour on Headings, it does not show up in the options when selected. Paragraphs
   allow you to set text colour and background colour Thanks

 * [@ian72](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ian72/), like [@sj_o](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sj_o/)
   said, it is a Gutenbereg limitation that you are not (until now) able to set 
   the background color of headings.
 * Closing this issue,
 * best, Niklas
