    Yes generally but it depends on your template.

    In style.css look for the part that defines you sidebar. (usually something like #sidebar etc)

    And add between the { and } brackets :
    
     background-color: (COLOR);
    
    Code (markup):

    Hi JackL00711,
    you can change the color or anything in your sidebar by editing style.css in your wordpress template.
    Thanks

    log in and go to 'Appearance' --> 'Editor' --> select 'sidebar' template from right and make appropriate changes in any colors.

    open file named screen.css in your theme folder and then look for this .last, div.last

    replace the whole thing with

    this will surely do the trick

    Yeah you can, under style.css files search sidebar... there would be option (mostly "bg") to change background color
