  Hi there,

  I was wondering if it is possible to change the entire background to a uniform color. The background is currently gray, but the other parts of the site are white.

  I was also wondering if the spacing between the images in a gallery can be changed.

  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, looking at your site, which is using the twenty-fifteen theme, there are a number of color palettes available in the Customizer>Colors & Backgrounds. Click on Palettes and you’ll see a few color circles. The sidebar color is the one on the left. For more extensive changes than that, you’d need to edit the CSS which means upgrading to Premium.

  Spacing depends on which type of Gallery you’re using. Can you please post a direct link to an example so we can take a look? Thanks.

  Hi there,

  There wasn’t an option to change the white background where the content is, so I’m guessing I would need to upgrade to do so?

  I just used the normal gallery for uploading the images onto the site.

  Thank you.

  Hello again, while you can change the sidebar color via the Customizer, the background behind the content would require additional CSS.

  As far as the Gallery, is this a page where you’d like to change the spacing? https://hydlercostello.wordpress.com/pearls-graduation/ If it is, what spacing changes are you trying to achieve? Also let me know which Editor (WP Classic; Block; Classic block) and the settings you used to create this.

  Generally speaking, if you are using the regular Gallery block https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/gallery-block/ with a single column, you’d again need CSS to change the spacing between images.

  If you use the Image block https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/image-block/ and insert images one-by-one, it would be possible to use the spacer block between images and adjust it. https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/spacer-block/
