Hi, I'm trying to create alternative background colours to help segment pages/sections of the website using different background colour under the default section options. Currently you have two colour options to select from; white and light grey. For some reason when I select the light grey option it continues to default to white.

For example, I would like the about me section to be white and career history to be in the light grey (see attachment).

Is there something else I need to do to activate the different colour background?

It's: http://www.ericsteigerwalt.com but the sight is still in maintenance mode and I'm unable to activate for personal reasons.

I've tried change this in the style options to override the background colour of the page but, had no luck.

.page_id-496 {background-color:lightgrey}

Thanks, you'll have to excuse my ignorance as I'm quite the novice when it comes to code. I've tried what you have suggesed but I have a feeling I'm still not doing this correct.

Attached is the screen shot of the Custom CSS I'm trying to insert to change the background colour for the page id 496.

Appreciate if you can further assist with this issue I'm having.

Cheers

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure the section id is correct. Is it possible to double check this for me?
