For the record, always include your site’s url when posting. Linking directly to the WP repository doesn’t help.
I am somewhat familiar with Suffusion, so I can tell you that you will need to add some code to the “Custom Styles” section of the theme.
To access custom style (if you are not yet familiar) – From Suffusion Options go to “Back-end Settings” then choose “Custom Includes” and enter the following code in the text box to the right:
div.suf-widget { background-color: #YOUR COLOR CODE HERE; }
You may consider visiting Suffusion’s support forum in the future.
