how to make the background of my blog articles white

Store Design

Topic summary

A user needed help changing their blog article background from grey to white but couldn’t find the setting in their Shopify theme (Craft).

Solution provided:

  • Navigate to Online Store → Edit Code → base.css file
  • Add CSS code at the end of the file to set background color to white (#fff)
  • Initial code targeted the main content area (main#MainContent)

Follow-up issue:
The comment section below articles remained grey after the initial fix.

Additional solution:

  • Added second CSS snippet targeting the comment wrapper (.article-template__comment-wrapper.background-secondary)
  • This successfully changed the comment section background to white as well

Resolution: Issue fully resolved. The user successfully implemented both code changes with step-by-step guidance and expressed gratitude by sending a PayPal tip to the helper.
