Hi there

You can change colors editing less files

in this folder /templates/ja_directory/less/ you have

variables.less and style.less

edit variables.less and find

// Scaffolding
// ————————-

@body-bg:               @white;

You can assign to the variable @white your color #dcd4bf

Then open style.less and find

.t3-header {
  padding-top: @t3-global-padding;
  padding-bottom: @t3-global-padding;
  background: @gray-darker;
  position: relative;
  z-index: 3;
}

To the t3-header background is assigned the @gray-darker variable , so open the variables.less file and change value assigned to the @gray-darker with your color #096d87

@gray-darker:            #096d87;

after saved 2 files go to template manager and click on compile less to css button

Best regards

Your instructions are amazingly simple and very accurate. Thanks very much.
I’m using Adobe Dreamweaver for the update but noticed you refer to the "template manager".
Which editor should I use to conduct these updates?

Thanks again for you down right simple guidance… It’s amazing

There are a lot of them around, but you can use Notepad++
