How do I change the white background of the default theme?

For the actual homepage, posts, pages, etc., how do I change the default color of the site from white to say grey or darker etc? Thank you?

 

Hello,
Paste the following code in your Custom CSS
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS)

Code:

.body_wrapper{
background: grey;
}
.header {
background: transparent;
}
#featured {
background: transparent;
}
.slider_wrapper {
background: transparent;
}
.contentbox {
background: transparent;
}
.feturebox {
background: transparent;
}
.testimonial {
background: transparent;
}
.heading_wrapper {
background: transparent;
}
.page-content {
background: transparent;
}
.fullwidth {
background: transparent;
}

Put your color in place of grey. This will solve your issue.

 

Thank you Piyush Is there a way to control that color more precisely? Say a shade of grey, etc?

 

Hello,
You can put your color code instead of "grey".
For example:

Code:

.body_wrapper {
background: #D3D3D3;
}

So, choose your color code and paste it inplace of "grey" .This will solve your issue.
