Hi All,
I just want to load a simple white backgrounded image as a feature image and wordpress (online version) insists on colouring my gif with a theme colour (ha!!!). After 4 hours of searching ways of getting round this rude intervention I’ve run out of options. Can anyone please help?

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

Hi there,
Well the one simple way to do this is already insisted by WordPress-haha!

Another way to do this is by editing the CSS if you have access to it.

To remove the green overlays to the features images, just edit the background-color CSS property of this CSS code:
```
.featured-content .hentry, .header-overlay {
    background-color: #c9d8ca;
}
```
to this:
.featured-content .hentry, .header-overlay {
background-color: #ffffff;
}
or this (recommended):
```
.featured-content .hentry, .header-overlay {
    background-color: transparent;
}
```
And also edit this CSS:
```
.header-overlay:before {
    background-color: rgba(201,216,202,.7);
}
```
to this:
```
.header-overlay:before {
    background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
}
```
or this (recommended):
```
.header-overlay:before {
    background-color: transparent;
}
```
NOTE:
You need to upgrade to WordPress.com Premium or a Business Plan to customize your CSS code.

Thanks……I’m on the free version, so I presume there is no other way.
