Changing background colour/ image on CMS pages

[Skazz]

Hi everyone, I hope someone can offer some advice. I've set up my CMS pages with the desired text, and was hoping I could use the TinyMCE source code section to change the background colour behind the text to white - My new site-wide background image can make some of the words harder to read. However, whenever I try any 'background-color' code or anything, the editor just puts in inside <p></p> tags after I click ok and it appears at the top of the page instead as though it was text.

 

Am I entering code in the wrong place to effect this change, and if so, where should I try instead? I can't see anything likely looking in the blockcms module code in either the main folder or that of my theme.

 

I feel like this should be something really simple to implement, but I've just stumped myself!

 

Thanks for reading and look forward to any help!

 

All the best
