    @3cstudio,

    Line 55 of your themes CSS file defines the background (or ‘body’) as a dark colour (#545252). You need to use the correct DIVs in your template to cover this over as your theme does or edit your themes CSS (for now and after every update).

    I think theme developers make a high contract between the background and foreground to aid development but I’ve never figured out why they don’t remove this before releasing a final release version.

    @mattyrob — nice find (or not-so-nice?!). 😀

    Yeah, I wish I had inherited a site that was built on a child theme! May have to go that route now anyway, as it will always be a continual battle to deal with when (and if?) this theme were to have an update.

    Many thanks!

    @mattyrob, how did you ferret out that line of styles? I’m attempting to use Firebug (and did prior to posting to this forum, as I figured it would be a background of sorts in body or content) to see how/where you figured that out, but not seeing anything jump out at me — just curious for future reference!

    @mattyrob, your note helped greatly — I actually found the true culprit — it was line 51:

    body { background: #4A4848; }

    That element is what is/was killing my emailed post background color!

    Thanks again,

    S

    @3cstudio,

    I was using the Element Inspector in Safari. Still at least you managed to locate the issue.
