PRO TIP: Adding a background color in Squarespace can be tricky. If you’re not careful, you could end up with a background that is too light or too dark, or that doesn’t match the rest of your site. Here are a few things to keep in mind when adding a background color in Squarespace:

1. Choose a color that complements your site’s overall design.

2. Make sure the color you choose is visible on both light and dark backgrounds.

3. Test the color on different devices to make sure it looks good on all screen sizes.

4. Be aware that adding a background color will affect the load time of your pages.

5. Use caution when adding a background color to an existing page – you may need to adjust other elements on the page to accommodate the new color.

.element {
  background-color: #000000;
}

Replace "#000000" with the hex code of the color you want to use.
