Next, click on the Background colour square.
The colour picker is now being displayed. You can click on one of the coloured tiles to select that colour.
The website automatically updates to reflect the colour you select. That way you can check if the colour is to your liking.
You can also insert the colour RGB value in the input box below, should you have one already.
You can also use the colour wheel, with which a wider area of colour variances can be chosen from. To do so, click on the corresponding icon on top.

Background type: Image
If you would like to use an image for your background, click Image in the drop-down menu.
You can now select the image by clicking Change image.
Select an image that has already been uploaded and thus visible in the selection, a professional picture from the picture library, or add a new image by clicking Upload a new image.
