  Our school colors are orange and blue. Our theme (Omni) allows us the pick the color for the backgrounds on the text areas, but it uses that color in two different shades (currently a lighter and darker blue). I was hoping to have an orange background with blue accents (for the background of the featured post and the outlines and header backgrounds. (See PhillyVirtual.com to see what I mean). Can I use custom CSS to change the background of text areas? How would I do this? (I have very basic CSS knowledge)

  Howdy!

  This is definitely possible. I believe I understand what you’re looking for. Can you try the following CSS inputing the necessary hex code colors?

  #lead-story {
  	background-color: #fff;
  }
  
  aside h3.widgettitle {
  	background-color: #fff;
  }
  
  aside .widget-wrap {
  	border-color: #fff;
  }

  Let me know if that’s a step in the right direction!
