 * Hey there,
 * Just wanting to know if it is possible to change the orange strip behind the 
   header to a different colour? Whether it is an option or a code in the Editor
   section I have searched and can’t find it. You’re help would be GREATLY appreciated
   as this theme is perfect for my client but orange doesn’t quite suit his branding.
 * Thanks kindly,
    Nyssa

 * In your Child Theme style.css:
 *     ```
       #header {
           background: #000000;
       }
       ```
   
 * Obviously you can change the color to whichever you like!

 * Hi,
 * I agree, create a child theme.
    You can change colors in parent theme files too,
   but changes will be lost when you update theme.
 * I’m working on a custom css function, will try to add it in next update.

 * Meanwhile you could also use a custom css plugin, like this one:
