    I am a new user, switching from a website builder to WordPress and Genesis for the first time.

    I am using the Monochrome Pro theme and would like to change the color of the header from white to our brand color.

    All guidance is appreciated!

    I am enjoying the ease of use and flexibility of WordPress compared to previous website builder and have most of the content I need in place, now need some help to finish the finer details 🙂

    Enter this CSS in the customizer or change it directly in the child theme:

    .site-header {
    background-color: #000; /* insert the hex color of your brand */
    }
    

    Here is a link to a hex color picker if needed, however I guess you have a brand guide where the hex code is already defined.

    You probably also need to change the color of the text

    .site-title a,
    .site-title a:hover,
    .site-title a:focus,
    .genesis-nav-menu a {
    	color: #fff; /* insert the hex color you want the text to be */
    }
