  I have the custom design upgrade active on my blog, however, it is not letting me change the colour of my background. I go to Appearance>Background and change it to black, yet the page is still baby blue… I can’t even swap the colours of the palette when I got to Customise to change it. It just comes up with black circles with crosses in the middle.

  Hi there, I see what you mean. It appears that the background colour of the colour scheme you’ve selected is overriding your selection under Appearance > Background. I’ve asked our developers to have a look and will keep you posted.

  Hi there, you can force the background colour to be black by adding this to your custom CSS. Head over to Appearance > Custom Design, click the CSS tab and add this completely below the existing green comments:

  body.custom-background.custom-colors .page-wrapper {
       background-color: #000000 ! important;
  }

  Click Save when you’re done.
