 * Is there any way to change the background color of the columns? I can change 
   the background of the text and the overall group but the column remains white.
   and I only see ‘width’ as an option on the column settings block.

 * Hi [@jaggedtouchstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaggedtouchstudio/),
 * WordPress doesn’t have an option to set each column’s background color. Twentig
   adds some columns styling (card width shadow, gray card, card width border…) 
   on the Columns block. But if you want to set a custom background color on each
   column, the only way is to add a group inside each column and set a background
   color on each group.
 * I hope the above is useful to you.
    Tom

 * Using a Group with a chosen background colour does not work with Dark Mode. The
   text will automatically change colour but the Group will not.
