Stylesheet Colors Change Not Applied To Tablet

[NWCE]

In having the Footer display like it is being placed the right column (when in tablet view) I changed the Column Right Status - Global in Admin->Config->Layout Settings and it now display the footer at the end of the page, but it made the entire page color #333. As shown in the image, it makes the page illegible, so I have changed this back, but thought it may give you guys some other ideas on what may be occurring??

I will see if I can make changes to responsive_tablet.css to make the charcoal color white....and this would solve everything.
