  I recently decided to make a website through WordPress. I purchased a banner image through iStock to stick on my website. The picture is of bright, pink flowers but when I upload it to the banner it shows up dull and grey.
  Is there a way to fix this?
  Please help!

  Hi serenecaprine!

  Yeah, that image does look a little odd and not just in a numerically speaking manner.

  Taking a look over the markup does reveal something a little interesting though. :) I do see that if you add some styling to it the image does display properly.

  If you have the ability to add some Custom CSS you can try adding:

  .header-image {
    background-size: contain;
  }

  That will set the image properly.

  Hope that helps!

  Thanks for the help and I’m glad you agree

  How do I go about adding a custom CSS?

  The Custom CSS is part of Custom Design ( https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/ ) so you would need to have a premium plan ( https://wordpress.com/pricing/ ) as it is the Advanced Design Customization.
