Check the General->Background tab. There you have an option to set your background color.

@DigitalDanny thanks, but I was already there. Right now it reads:

Enable this option, if you like to use the standard wordpress settings page.
-> ENABLED

Change your background colour
-> #FFFFFF

(the rest of the options were not touched as they deal with background image)

It did not change the background color to white for the body.

Note that under the "Color Scheme" tab I chose "grey" and still want this, with the exception of the body being white.

Any place in the Theme Editor I can edit manually?

@DigitalDanny I tried that variation too without the hatch #. Same.

Edmund

This is a hack, but edit style.css in the theme.

At the bottom add this and it should work:

div.page {background: #FFFFFF !important;}

@strangerstudios hey that helped! One step closer now.

Right now Splendid Bonus Deals - the body is white, but the border remains grey. Am I right to say if I somehow edit to change the grey border to white, the other parts of the page (like the menu) will turn to white as well?

It looks odd the way it is now, do you know where else I can edit to change the grey border to white too?

Edmund

Ok. Looks like you need something like this as well:

div#content {background: #FFFFFF !important;}
div#content .padder {background: #FFFFFF !important;}

p.s. Firebug or Chrome Developer Tools "Inspect Element" tool is really good for figuring out what styling is applied to which elements to figure these things out. Takes some practice, but is very useful.

@strangerstudios that did the trick! I would have never guessed. Thanks man!
