Background Color Solution

You need to use the background-color selector to change your Tumblr theme's background color.

This selector will be in the body section of the css (lines 31 to 38):

     <style>
      body { 
        margin: 0; 
        padding: 20px;
        background-color: green; 
        font-family: arial;
        font-size: 0.75em;
        color: blue;
      }
          

You want to change the italicized word in the bold line. You can write in a hexadecimal number for the color (see here for more information on hex) or you can write a different color word, such as purple or red instead of green.
