Change background in CSS for Wordpress theme

I want to change the background color, the outside of the page, on my wordpress theme. What is the best way to do this in CSS?

 

It depends how your style sheet is set up, but at its most basic it would be something like:-

body{
background: yournewcolor;
}

Your existing background might be making use of an image though, in which case it would be more like:-

body{
background: url(images/bgpic.gif);
}

in this case you can either edit the original image or create a completely new one and link to it as in the above example.

Thanks for the tip. I actually dug in myself and figured out how to do it.
