 * Hi there,
 * I would like the whole background to be black – Like the featured image and the
   post background.
 * Either by changing the background colour of the site. Or by removing all the 
   grey padding.
 * Any help much appreciated!!
 * Thank you.

 * In the “Additional CSS” section of the dashboard add this:
 *     ```
       body.colors-dark, 
       .colors-dark .site-content-contain, 
       .colors-dark .navigation-top, 
       .colors-dark .main-navigation ul {
           background: #000;
       }
       ```
