FAQ: Can I change the background color of just the top header area?

If you want to change the background color of just the top header area, so it looks something like this:

You can pull it off by adding one line to your stylesheet. Open up your stylesheet by going to “Design” (”Presentation” in old versions of WP) –> “Theme Editor” and selecting “Stylesheet (style.css)”. Scroll down to line 158, which looks like this:

#header {
    height: 108px; /*height of header: logo & top links - see 5 lines below*/
}

Add a line in like so and change the color code to whatever you want it to be.

#header {
    height: 108px; /*height of header: logo & top links - see 5 lines below*/
    background: #ff9900;
}

Click “update file” to save your changes, visit your blog and force your browser to refresh to see your changes.
