  Is there a way to change the right-hand sidebar background color in the 2012 theme? I don’t want to change the entire page color, which is white — just the color of the sidebar where the widgets are living. Thanks.
  ( I was trying to post directly to the CSS forum but am not sure if I’ve done so?)

  This works: (I added a little padding to make it look nicer – play around with the px to get a look you like.)

  .widget-area {
  	background-color:#ccc;
  	padding:5px;
  }
