Html bacground colour code

[ata.online]

Hello,

Does anyone know the html background colour code for my site:

http://www.ata-articles.com/

I just need the colour code for both left and right background but not the content area.
For example like this site:
http://smarticledirectory.com/

@import 'categories.css';

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html { filter: expression(document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true)); }
body {
font: 13px/18px "Trebuchet MS", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
background: #FFFFFF

I know the above code is white, but when i change it blue, it covers the whole site. I just need the colour
code for only left and right side

Thanks.

Try this:

@import 'categories.css';

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html { filter: expression(document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCa che", false, true)); }
body { 
font: 13px/18px "Trebuchet MS", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
background: #000099; 
}
#wrapper{
background: #000000;
}

Thanks for your reply.
But i assume #000000 is the html code for black. Hence, it changed the content background to black and the right/left side was still white.

I managed to change it. It should be:

@import 'categories.css';

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html { filter: expression(document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCa che", false, true)); }
body {
font: 13px/18px "Trebuchet MS", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
background: #BDEDFF;
}
#wrapper{
background: #FFFFFF;
}

Thanks for your help regarding the extra 'wrapper' code i needed!

Yeah, I meant white but put #000000 for some reason.
I'd be careful about making your site look too similar to the other one if the other is not yours.
