Yet another question about changing sidebar colors

    Forgive my newbieness, here. I have a brand new blog I’m trying to decorate at http://www.wealthychef.net/wordpress/. You can see I’m experimenting with colors. 🙂 My problem is that the remaining black areas of the page are completely inaccessible to me somehow. I cannot change the black around around the subtitle, nor can I change the black area around the red sidebar content, nor the area below the post.
    Can someone give me clues about those three things?
    Thanks!

    The sidebar:

    #secondary {
    background: yellow;
}

    The footer area

    .site-footer {
    background: orange;
}

    … and found my answer finally in the Safari debug console. Turns out it’s this piece of code in my theme’s style.css file: 

    @media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {
      ....
	.site:before {
		background-color: #000;

    @batharoy, good to know I can use “yellow” instead of the hex codes. I’m learning by trial and error here. 🙂 However, I had already tried editing “secondary” and it did not change things for me. Hopefully this is true for all browsers. But with my new change things are now uglier than ever and I’m very happy. 🙂
