    I just switched to the Modern Theme and I'd like to change the background of the main About Widget from Black to grey and I can't for the life of me figure where the code is. I don't see any black hex colors in the CSS anywhere. I've been fiddling around with this for an hour now.....

    Access your Style.css file and look for the following codes, just change the ( background-color: #000000; ) in your about section to the color of your choice..

    /* 04d - Homepage ----------- */
    
    #about,
    #blog,
    #portfolio,
    #services {
    	clear: both;
    	overflow: hidden;
    }
    #about,
    #services {
                background-color: #000000;
              
    	
    	
    }
    
    #about,
    #services { 
    	padding: 20px 0;
    
    }
    
    #blog,
    #portfolio {
    	padding: 64px 0 16px;
    	padding: 4rem 0 1rem;
    }
