  This code should work, but the color code in this example is light gray:

  <blockquote><div style="background-color:#F2F2F2;">TEXT</div></blockquote>

  Which part do I copy and paste into the CSS? just all of “

  TEXT

  ” or part?

  No, that code is for changing it in the post on a post by post basis.

  Add the background declaration ( background-color: #f2f2f2; ) to the ” blockquote ” section in the CSS.

  As far as that goes, the following declaration works as well

  background: #f2f2f2;
