    I'm on WordPress 4.0, using Genesis Frameworks 1.8.2, and I want to make the background behind the header and header widget a different color, it's white now. Firebug tells me that color is generated by the sitename.com file - where do I find that file? It's not the header.php, not in the CSS. It seems to me that is generated by WP using the custom header option, but that option does not give me a place to change the background color.

    Is there a way to change this? Is this a WP or Genesis issue?

    From Firebug:
    " #header {
    background: url("http://shertekinc.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Shertek-logo-blk-red.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    "

    No header file in any child theme.

    You can simply use Firebug to test the CSS changes for different background classes.

    I'm not sure what you mean?

    Firebug says the color is set by the file named sitename.com - the css file is names style.css so the css is not changing the background color but being overwritten by the sitename.com file. In this case the site is shertekinc.com, so the file name is shertekinc.com that is overwriting the css. How do I find this file?

    It turned out to be a functions.php file issue, where it was allowing for a custom header. Once I removed that bit of code, the css then worked.
    Just in case anyone else has this issue.
