# Sidebar background color & padding/margin problems

 * I am very new to wordpress and I am going out of my mind with this problem.
 * My website: [](http://rikkebruhn.dk)
 * In the left sidebar (apparently it’s called primary sidebar) I have placed a 
   Facebook widget. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to change the background color
   to white.
 * I tried to change padding and margin settings in style.css and I use a child 
   theme. I use twenty fourteen and thus copy/paste from that stylesheet, and only
   make changes in the child theme, so that nothing is changed in the root.
 * Please, can anyone tell me, what to do?
