stackoverflow.com Is better for this question as it is about coding the background, not designing/creating it. Here's something though: tizag.com/cssT/background.php And a site background is quite often given to either html or body or both of them ( If you want to use 2 images as the background ). – Joonas Nov 6 '12 at 7:50

Without seeing your site, most websites use css to style the page.

Look at your page code. Near the top it will either have a section with <style>...</style> or/and it will reference a file with the extention .css (probably called style.css)

More than likely, it will reference an external .css file. Find that file in your directory and edit it in a text editor. Look for a line that says:

background-color: white; (or the 'white' might be a number like #FFF or #FFFFFF).

This is the line you'll have to change (there may be a few background-color declarations so try them starting at the top of the document). Replace the 'white' with another web-color. Search web-colors or go here to select a new color and type in the code: http://html-color-codes.info/

Hope that helps
