    Hello there,

    Working on client site using Genesis Sample Theme……

    I need to be able to "force" the color of the Content area ( dark grey) to go all the way to the bottom of the page irrespective of the amount of actual content on the page.

    On pages like this you can clearly see that the black background shows on the right and at the bottom of the content area:

    Alternatively, is it possible to set a color for the whole Content area while still keeping the black background behind the website? Not sure if I'm making sense....

    Appreciate your help.

    Best regards
    Greg

    Try adding background: #666; to .site-inner - that should give you the background color on the entire content area.
