 * Hi all,
 * Just a quick query (I think) can I add a colour after each section to break up
   my site.
    e.g. my lay out is as below About us Services Counter Contact us
 * Can I add coloured background to sections e.g
    About us – Light blue background
   colour Services – light red background colour Counter – Green background colour
   Contact us – Yellow background colour
 * Look forward to your help! 🙂
 * Thanks

 * Hi there,
 * Yes. It is very easy. You can add following custom CSS to your theme using [Simple CSS Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/):
 * `#your-section-id { background-color : blue ; }`
 * P/s : Remember replace your-section-id by real id : [http://prntscr.com/d27n7o](http://prntscr.com/d27n7o)
 * Hope that helps!

    counter { background-color : blue;}
   services { background-color: red ; }

 * You are missing **“#”** before section id name. Please check again!
