  Hi there. Switch to the text editor and look for the blockquote html tag. Add the following to it as shown here to change the background colour:

  <blockquote style="background: yellow;">

  Replace ‘yellow’ with whatever colour you want to use. You can use either the colour name or the hex-code for the colour you want.

  To change the text colour:

  <blockquote style="color: yellow;">

  To change background and text colour:

  <blockquote style="color: yellow; background: blue">

  Hello. I am a paying customer – is there a way to change the CSS so that the changes apply to all blockquotes automatically?

  “Paying customer” does not necessarily mean anything. The only upgrade that allows you to change the CSS is the custom design upgrade.

  If you have that upgrade (also included in Premium and Business bundles), please post directly in the CSS customization forum for the code that would be necessary to make this change: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform

  If you don’t have the custom design upgrade, see here for more info:

  Here’s an example of how to change the blockquote element:

  .wf-active blockquote {
    color:#ccc;
    background-color:#333;
    font-size:12px;
    font-family:courier;
  }
