Change Background Color

Can I change the background color of the default theme from white to a hex color (i.e. #333333)? I've tried adding a color line under:
'
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;

in style.css, but still no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

scott,
i am using 1.34 .. i didn't upgrade yet... i changed my file like this and it works fine...

under catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet
change stylesheet.css

body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
background: #000000;

}



hope this helps

Thanks : ) That worked!!!
