 * Thanks for all the help. Finally figured this out and given so many similar unanswered
   questions, I thought it would be good to post my solution.
    Via a child css: 
   Set the background color as desired for #page
 * The background for each of the following needs to be set to transparent: #main,#
   content, article.intro and ‘.featured-posts section.featured-post’
 * {background-color: transparent;}
 * The second two took a long time to find.
    article.intro controls the background
   color of pages created using WP. .featured-posts section.featured-post controls
   the background color of the featured post (go figure).

 * Andrew: thanks for the link but I’m not sure how that addresses my question. 
   I’m using Chrome. Re: selectors… I suspect this is the problem. What selectors
   will resolve this; Or do I need to try each one from the style.css that has #
   fff as the background color?
 * Alchymyth: just tried .entry-content but also did not work. The site has to be
   protected for the time being but the only thing I did to the WP site is add the
   above styles to the child theme, which I set up using the instructions in the
   documentation. Didn’t edit the twentyeleven theme and didnt’t add anything else
   to the child.

 * Beaverman:
 * I am using the white option and not using any extensions/plugins. I added the#
   page{} from above to my child style.css. However, there are still white panels
   behind any content on new pages I create.
 * I then added the below styles with no success:
    ‘#main{ background-color: transparent;}#
   primary{ background-color: transparent;} #content{ background-color: transparent;}#
   entry-content{ background-color: transparent;}​’
 * Did you run into this problem? And if so, how did you resolve it?
