 * Hello,
    My theme is Sydney and I am using a child theme. I have managed to change
   all backgrounds on my site except for the padding surrounding the posts and behind
   the widgets. Can anyone tell me how to change the color of these areas, or to
   give a blanket command that all backgrounds are to be the same color. Here is
   an example. I would like the entire page background to be the light brown color.
   Thanks, Jim PS. I am very new to this, so please explain like you were talking
   to a 5th grader!

 * Hi,
 * I presume you changed these things using css.
 * The css for changing the background color would be `background: #efefef;` light
   grey for example. But to be able to tell you where you have to attach it to, 
   You’d have to share a link, and explain exactly what should be changing background
   color.
 * Hope this helps

 * Sorry, I should have done that in the first place. The site is [http://www.heroesofthepast.com/who-we-are/](http://www.heroesofthepast.com/who-we-are/)
   I would like to make the white border around the page and the widget the same
   color as the background.
    Thanks

 * There you go:
 *     ```
       .page .page-wrap .content-wrapper, .single .page-wrap .content-wrapper {
           background: #fff2e6;
       }
       ```
