  My posts currently appear on a white background, but I’d like the background color for my posts to be a muted old gold color. I already discovered how to change the page background, and it is the color that I want it. I need help changing the field where the text in my post show up. Thank you.

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

  I would also like information on changing text color of the posts within the twenty ten theme that I am using. Thank you.

  To make sure I’m looking at the right thing, is http://hardrocklegend.wordpress.com/ the blog you are working on? I see a black background color, not a muted old gold color.

  To change the background color of the entire main column where posts appear in the Twenty Ten theme, add this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:

  #wrapper {
  	background-color: lightyellow;
  }

  You can change the color name “lightyellow” to a color code of your choice:

  Check to make sure that’s the area where you wanted to change the color.

  Actually, you should try the Custom Colors option first. It comes with the Custom Design upgrade and this help page shows how it works. Check it out:
