  Hi Shiva,

  I’m that you are using the Hemingway rewritten theme, If you are referring to change the background color of black block in this image –
  https://cloudup.com/cRVZJUQ9z3h

  You can see a customize icon on the lower right corner of your blog or you can try this link to go to your customization page – https://shivashaktiselftodivineself.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=pub%2Fhemingway-rewritten

  On the left side you can see the CSS Tab and after clicking it, you will have the option to add a custom css, for example if you want the background to be green (#008000) using CSS colors, you can put in:

  .site-branding {
  background: #008000;
  }

  Let me know how did it go ok?

  Hi,

  Sorry I was not able to check your tier and you were in the free plan.

  You’ll need the WordPress.com Premium or WordPress.com Business plan upgrade to edit and apply your CSS changes and have more control on how your pages will look like.
