  It’s in the #access selector, the hex color listed in the “background” attribute.

  You don’t need the hexadecimal code, you could use something like the line below. However if you type something like “hex colour codes” into google you’ll easily be able to find a resource that will let you pick the exact shade you want.

  #access {background-color:navy;}

  I am not very good at this. But was somehow able to change the color of the bar below the header to white (I Inserted the hex code for Red!). I don’t really mind it. Can someone plz guide how to change the color of the bar above to white too and the color of the Home Link on the bar below the header to red :)

  The last time your posted to this wordpress.COM forum you did so in error because the blog URL you provided at that time was for a wordpress.ORG install for self hosting. If you are asking about is > http://healthtrawl.com again, or any blog that is not being free hosted by wordpress.com then we cannot help you here. WordPress.com volunteers do not provide CSS lessons to wordpress.ORG bloggers. The correct forum to post to for support with that blog, or any blog that is not free hosted by wordpress.COM is here. > http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  Please read this entry so you are clear about the differences between the two > wordpress.COM versus wordpress.ORG – the differences

  If you are referring to another blog, a free blog from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM then post the URL for the blog in question starting with http:// 
  when ever you post to this forum.

   Also note that no color changes can be made to free hosted wordpress.COM blogs without purchasing the CSS editing upgrade.
