How to change the colour of the Top/Bottom Padding?

Topic summary

Issue: Increasing top/bottom padding in a dark-blue themed store creates a white band, and the user wants that area to match the theme color while enlarging the gap between the header logo and a background video.

Steps provided: Edit Shopify theme.liquid (the main layout template) via Online Store > Edit Code, then paste custom code immediately above the closing tag. This change resolved the white padding and achieved the desired spacing.

Outcome: The solution worked and was confirmed by the original poster.

Clarifications: The helper requested the store URL (and password if applicable); the URL was shared.

Follow-up: Another participant with the same issue is unsure where exactly to paste the code due to multiple mentions of in the theme files and asked for a screenshot of the precise location.

Status: Partially resolved for the original case; pending clarification for others on exact code placement.

Notes: Images are central, showing the white padding vs. the corrected result. “theme.liquid” refers to Shopify’s main layout file; the fix involves adding custom CSS/markup near the closing body tag.
