Changing Colors in CSS? Not working

[bfwdesigns]

I have search the posts and found several posts and I tried the examples, but it still does not work! See here: http://cherylsjewelry-n-giftnook.com/zencart/

See where it says "Home and Link" below the main header, well I want to change that from white to brown. I was told it was here:

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
margin: 0em;
background-color: #694F35;
font-weight: bold;
height: 1%;
width: 760px;
}

but that does not work. I had a background image that was removed, but now the color is white not brown.

I also want the center of all pages to be the light brown that is around the outer columns...

I am using the current version of zen, classic override system, and the stylesheet.css not the new or original one...

I also want to change the footer color too but that is not working.. please help!

Maybe I am using the wrong stylesheet?????? This is the stylesheet that came with the classic template.. should I be using the original or new stylesheet?

You have all three css files being processed.
Start by renaming the style sheets in my_store06 folder
your stylesheet_new.css to stylesheet_new.old
and your stylesheet_original.css to stylesheet_original.old
See what this looks like and now changes are all controlled through one style sheet, the one left as stylesheet.css

you will have to change the width 100% entries to either 75% or 750px to get back to your current look. and than some colors might have to be adjusted.

This should get you on the correct track

ok, i did want you told me and still looks the same

I went to the define editor and added the beige background color for my introduction and you can see it when you view in the html editor for main_page but when you actually view the page it is still white! I dont get it... Maybe I am missing it in the code somewhere?

Remove the .css extension on these two files:

stylesheet_original.old

stylesheet_new.old

Check now and see if that helps.

It worked! Thank you both!

Now, I have to figure out where to add the color for category, information headers tab etc..

I appreciate all your help!

Just a small tweak suggestion.

Your logo is 755px wide.

You might want to adjust this to avoid that slight overlap on the right side.

#mainWrapper {
	background-color: #F6EED9;
	text-align: left;
	width: 755px;
	vertical-align: top;
	border: 1px solid #F7E7CE;
	}

Just change the portion in red.
