    Hello,

    I am using the Serenity Child Theme. I am hoping to update the color of the background to stem green. I thought I had them all updated. When I try and refresh the page, it starts out green then defaults back to blue. Any ideas?

    You did change the color properly, however, your background also uses an image (in your case, a vertical blue bar, that's got repeat-x set so that it spans the width of the screen).

    In your theme, open style.css, and search for (ctrl + f):

    background: #9AB844 url(images/bg.png) repeat-x;

    Replace it with:

    background: #9AB844;

    If you care to clean up your theme at all, you can delete the bg.png image from your theme's image folder.
