 * Where in the css do you change the blue background colour?
 * I have looked in the .widget-area but do not see it?
 * Thanks

 * Looks like I found it, sorry. It’s it in this line:
 * .widget-area .sidebar-primary .widget

 * I’m a beginner and I don’t understand how to change the blue background colour.
   I’ve looked in the style.css file and I can’t find a hex number I can adjust.
   Thanks.

 * I don’t have access to the site anymore, but I used a css plugin, like
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/screenshots/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/screenshots/)
 * Then add this code:
 * .widget-area .sidebar-primary .widget {
    background-color: ffffff; }

 * Can someone please help me understand why it should two hours to change color?
   I’ve looked for this: .widget-area .sidebar-primary .widget
    and I’ve done this:
 * I don’t have access to the site anymore, but I used a css plugin, like
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/screenshots/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/screenshots/)
 * Then add this code:
 * .widget-area .sidebar-primary .widget {
    background-color: ff6600; } And still,
   its blue. Seriously. I think I am going to have to change themes unless somehow
   this gets easier really fast.
