Yes, that is the preferred method for editing files.

Thanks ever so much - you're a star !

To tweak it, where would I get the colour codes from ?

thanks for that but the colour #d9cdd5 wasnt among them. Are there other libraries ?

Also, say I wanted the side wings/background colour of a different design (not just plain)- can I name the selected picture (design) with i.e., jpg #xxxxxxx and then bring it in under the style page body ?

Yes, you can add a background-image to the body declaration just like any other element.

The #d9cdd5 came from experimenting with numbers and looks similar to your other lilac colors; you can use that as is, or try slightly different numbers and see how they look. There is no need to use names for colors.
The number codes are in hexadecimal (base 16), and go like: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f. Change by one increment at a time and observe the difference.
