  I have selected a new image for the top of the blog. I cannot figure out how to change the color behind the new image. Currently it is a dark grey but I would like to do a lighter color. How do I do that?

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

  Hi there,

  Are you referring to the color behind the text ‘Greg Hill & Associates’? If yes, I see brown-ish color there instead of dark grey as you described in your post.

  Also the theme you’re using is retired so we volunteers cannot check it.

  So I’ll tag this post with modlook so that someone from the staff will look into this :)

  Hello!

  In order to change the color of the header background, you’d need the Custom Design option, which is a feature of upgraded WordPress.com accounts. This is available in the Premium and Business upgrades, which you can read more about at https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  After upgrading, you’d simply need to add a tiny bit of simple CSS as follows:

  #header {
  background: #123456;
  }

  Whereas 123456 represents the hex color code you’d like. You can find this at http://www.colorpicker.com/.
