 * Hi there terrihenry1,
 * Thanks for posting, I’ll be happy to help!
 * Generally speaking, most WordPress themes will have existing CSS which determines
   the colors and styles of the form submit button, so it may be necessary to locate
   and edit the CSS for your specific theme.
 * However you can inject some additional button styles in the `mailchimp_widget.
   php` file in the `#mc_signup_submit` section of the CSS. Adding `background: 
   _______ ;` to the CSS in the submit button section would allow you to override
   the background color with a color of your choice using a hex color code in the
   blank.
 * For example, here’s the line I added to my CSS to test: [http://eepurl.com/5QM01](http://eepurl.com/5QM01)
   
   And here’s a screenshot of the change showing the default button color (green)
   as well as my new MailChimp button color (blue): [http://eepurl.com/5QM9L](http://eepurl.com/5QM9L)
 * Make sure to remove any spaces before the opening `<?php` tag when editing/saving
   changes to the code in the `mailchimp_widget.php` file. Certain editors will 
   add additional spaces at the beginning of the `<?php` tag which can cause issues
   after the edits are saved.
 * Let us know if there’s anything further we can assist with! Have a great day.
 * -Kath
