  Hi,

  I have been trying really hard to change my comments box under postings to red, but I am clueless, I’m not CSS savvy and was wondering if someone had a solution?.

  I had the same problem with my sticky color, and staff changed it for me, it would be great if it can be done for my comments box as well.

  Here’s the code you will need to change the background colour of the textarea element:

  #respond #comment-form-comment, #comment-form-share-text-padder {background-color:#f00;}

  Thank you, but I’m still at square one, is that code for comment box color? If it is how do I implement it.

  Go to Appearance > Customer Design > CSS and paste it into the box then click save. It will change the background colour of the box that visitors will type their comments in to, is that what you meant?

  Yes I put that code in and nothing happened, am I missing something? I saw another code that changed the text color and it worked, but not the background color

  I tested the CSS hallluke provided earlier on my test blog with the Expound theme activated, and the CSS worked in my test. The code works to make the comment box background color red. In order to make it work, you need to copy the code from above into the Appearance > Customize > CSS editor in your blog dashboard and make sure to save changes. You have not saved those changes from what I can tell.
