Change Header and Footer Colors

Being new to all this how would I go about changing the colors for the header, menu bar, behind the lead gen form, and the footer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

 

Local Business Theme is available in eight different colors

Go to Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Theme Stylesheet

and select your color from there.

 

I understand that need to know how to make it a custom color for those areas what css do I add? Also do I take out the important in the css and replace it with the color number?

 

Paste this code in Custom CSS
Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS

Code:

.header {
background: red;
}
.menu_bar {
background: red;
}
#menu .ddsmoothmenu li a {
background: red;
}
.signup{
background:red;
}
.footer-wrapper{
background:red;
}
.footer-wrapper .footer h4{
background:red;
}

Inplace of "red" put your color code.

 

Great Thanks!
