  Hi,

  in order to have a little more freedom to customize your site appearance you’ll have to upgrade to one of the available plans. You can checkout some of different plans here:

  They come with a lot of other features in addition to customization, I’d suggest the premium option in order to make more advanced changes to your site’s appearance.

  Hi @demonscape317:

  If you would like to have more color palettes and more room for customization, you must upgrade to either the Business Plan or Premium Plan.

  Here’s more information regarding Custom CSS here:

  Hi there, to change the color of the content area, add the following to your custom CSS and edit the color codes as desired. I’ve also included the code to change the background color of the footer area if you so desire.

  body {
    background-color: #cc0000;
  }
  .site-info {
    background-color: #ffee11;
  }

  Go to Customize > CSS, delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the above custom CSS.

  Hi demonscape317,

  Not sure if you mean the header white band, but in that you should follow the instructions by @thesacredpath but use the following css

  .sticky-wrapper {
      background: black;
  }

  If this isn’t what you were looking for, you could give us more details on the exact section where you’d like to change the color.

  Thanks
  Alexander G.
