I’m using the Duotone theme for my photo blog and love the changing background colors. However, sometimes Duotone gets it wrong and the chosen color is, well, not exactly the best choice. I see one can purchase the theme which allows further customization using CSS, but from what I can see it looks like the CSS changes are applied to all posts. Is it possible to change the background color for a single post without affecting the others?

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

You don’t purchase the theme, you purchase the Custom Design upgrade.
When you have the upgrade, then yes, you can target individual posts. If you’d like to preview an example, go to Appearance > Customize > CSS, select all, delete, then paste this:
```
.postid-4068 {
    background-color: #456789;
}
```
This will change the outer bg on the post “Spider-X”. If you change the ID number to 4026, it will change the outer bg on the post “Waiting Behind The Line”.

I have another question – when posting more than one image Duotone will display the first image nice and big at the top of the post but the subsequent images are 315 pixels. can one increase this to be larger using CSS

Yes. CSS allows you to change any aspect of the appearance of any element.
