    go to your folder where you installed wordpress and then move to wp-content>themes>your theme>images>bg.gif. Change its color and save it.

    If there is no such thing as bg or similar in your theme folder then open style.css from your wp-admin>appearance>editor and find the background color code "#ffffff" and replace it with "#808000" without quotes. Click "Update" and you are done.

      If you don't know what your doing don't go blindly changing #fffff; because you might change the wrong one. Most changes do take place in the styles.css. Some themes can have more then one css stylesheet. Just be aware.

      I always like to make a copy of the stylesheet before I change anything in case I make a mistake. This way I can always replace the problem stylesheet with the original.

      Usually if you want to change the background of the body then it will be in the body tag in the css stylesheet. It will look something like:

      #body {

      background-color: #ffffff;

      }

      Change the #ffffff to the color you want. Remeber to keep the # at the beginning and the ; at the end.

      If you need to find a color there is a nice extension for firefox called "rainbow" that will give you the code of the color. Otherwise just Google "color picker" to help you find the color you want.
