I want to change the color of it to make it look like the main menu on top.
I've been viewing it in both Chrome and IE.

What I got rid of was the blocks of color around the "subscribe" and "recent posts" grey text in the dark grey bar near the bottom of the page.

What browser are you looking at it in?

Try adding the important attribute to the end of the color declaration like this.

background-color: transparent !important;

#main-top h4, .subscribe h5 {
background-color: transparent;
}

The "newsletter" page, if that is what you are referring to, is not on your site here. That is off-site.

#pg-nav-bg {

It would have been so much easier if there was.

that worked.
I had just been trying to put it the body background color and that wasn't working on its own.

So it changed the background in all pages except the Newsletter.
and how can I get rid of the rest of the black and make them blue as well?

]]> thesacredpath on "Change background using Custom CSS" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/change-background-using-custom-css#post-775223 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:05:48 +0000 thesacredpath 775223@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ Can't you change that from appearance > background? Or does traction not have that option? We volunteers do not have access to premium themes so we know nothing about them.

The background is made up of two images, one in body and one in #wrapper (the glow at the top).

http://s2.wp.com/wp-content/themes/premium/traction/images/body-background.jpg
http://s2.wp.com/wp-content/themes/premium/traction/images/wrap-glow.jpg

body {
background: url("images/body-background.jpg") repeat scroll left top #292929;
}

.wrapper.big {
background: url("images/wrap-glow.jpg") no-repeat scroll center top transparent;
}

You can either create new images in the color you want (keeping the same size) and then replace the relative URLs with the URLs from the replacement images that you upload to your media library, or you can set them none and specify a color as below.

body {
background-image: none !important;
background-color: #CC0000;
}

.wrapper.big {
background: none;
}
