There are many ways to change the background color of a section in Squarespace. One way is to use the Style editor.

To do this, go to Settings > Style. Then, scroll down to the Background section. Here, you can change the background color by clicking on the color swatch next to the Background Color option.

Another way to change the background color of a section is to use CSS. To do this, go to Settings > Advanced.

Then, click on the + Add Custom CSS button. In the CSS Editor, you can add the following code:

background-color: #hexcode;
}

In the Page Settings or Post Settings, scroll down to the Content Background Image. Here, you can upload an image or select one from your library. Once you’ve selected an image, you can choose how it displays using the options under the heading “(Image Display Option)

The last way to change the background color of a section is to use HTML. This method is for advanced users who are comfortable editing code.

To do this, go to (Advanced). In the code editor, find the section you want to modify and add the following code:
< p style="background-color: #ffff00;" >(HTML Code for Background Color)< /p >Replace “#ffff00” with the hex code of the color you want to use.
