Block background colors allow you to highlight information on a page that you want to stand out.
To apply a background color to a block, do the following:
Hover over the block you want to apply the background color
Click on the 6-dot icon that appears to the left of the block.
Choose the color you want to apply to the block from the block menu that appears.
Pro tip: You can also click on the block you want to apply a background color to and type a forward slash anywhere inside it. This will pull up the block menu. When you choose the background color you want, the forward slash will automatically be removed from the block.
