  I recently chose the Adele theme for my blog. The polka dots at the top of my theme are shades of pink and I would love to change them to aqua or blue. I am not sure how to do this. Can someone please help?! Thank you.

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

  I didn’t customize anything. I created a white image of dimensions: 1050 × 122 pixels and uploaded it under > Appearance > Background and clicked “save changes”.

  I am not looking to customize anything. I also don’t want to upload an image. I just want to change the color of the polka dots in the theme Adele.

  You don’t need any upgrade. Those dots are a repeating bg image:

  You can copy the image to your computer, use an image editing application to change its colors, then upload it in Appearance > Background.
