**Changing background color of one section**

I have Squarespace 7.0 for my site. I would like to change the background color of one section on a certain page like the photo attached. I was told i have to add a custom code because i dont have 7.1. Any advice?

Very possible, and not too difficult, though somewhat depends on the template that you're using, can you share your website URL? 

Thank you so much for your response! Www.glamourcosmeticsofficial.com. I bought the template from another site and imported it into Squarespace.

And what section do you want a different colour?

Say the section that says “

ON LOCATION BRIDAL MAKEUP ARTISTS SERVING

BOSTON, CAPE COD, NEWPORT AND THE GREATER NEW ENGLAND AREA.

ALSO AVAILABLE FOR DESTINATION WEDDINGS WORLDWIDE!”

The way that you currently have this set up, that text is in one block but it is not in a section that we can colour from edge to edge. If you put that text into a new page section in the index and break up the page into the content above and below (you would want to duplicate the page and delete the top half on one , and the bottom half on the other and then put them into the same index). If you do that you can use this Custom CSS:

#page-url {
  background-color:#6D8094;
}

If you leave the setup as it is you can add a colour to the background of the text block like this:

#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1665962746539_100322 {
  background-color:#6D8094;
  padding: 42px 17px;
}

Hope that helps!

Hi @Garineh,

You can set different background colors in layout content sections of an index page, by using a background image with the desired color in the page settings of the section. Here's a guide to help:

Thank you both so much!! I’m going to try this out and get back to you. I really appreciate the speedy responses!!!
