 * I just installed the free flat theme on my website. I am able to change the color
   of my side menu. But, I am not able to change the background color of the site.
   Under the settings where the side menu is there is a color picker for the background
   color as well but it doesn’t change color. The background just stays the default
   white color even though I pick a different color using the color picker by double
   clicking on the color that I want to use just like the side menu. How else can
   I change the background color of my site using this theme?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftheme-background-question%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/flat](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/flat)
   so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

   really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction!
