Any advice on changing the color of the header in the "dark two column nav right" layout?

<script src="js/picturefill.min.js" class="picturefill" async="async"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>

<body>
<div class="row full-width-row header">
<header class="coffee-span-12">

Hi Stevep,

Instead of posting the code please provide a link to your website explaining what you would like to change. It's often easier to help you troubleshoot this way.

Thanks

delete <font color="#FFFF00> from the code (don't forget to delete the closing tag </font> from the end and use css to apply the color and style you desire.

delete <font colour="#FFF00><font size="4"> (don't forget to delete the closing tags </font.</font>) from the code and use css as above to apply the style you desire.

This type of mark up for styling is no longer valid, and will show up as such on any validation check.

You could of course go back to the RSD project and change the colours and styles from the text editor then just re-load the css-main file back into your HTML Editor, as long as you don't change anything else (like add other breakpoints or change class/id names etc it will keep the other styling as is.

Steve,

I want to change the color of the header at the top of the page. Currently "black" to a different color.

Thanks

If you want to do this in a text editor, rather than going back to RSD...
Main CSS, row 110:
body > .row.full-width-row.header {
background-color: #2d2d2d; <<<< change this color
border-bottom: 3px solid #a0a0a0; <<< this too, if you want

Then, as Wayanjaya advised, get rid of the inline styles ( <font> ) for your <h1>. Set those on the <h1> tag in the Main CSS, lines 1–6:
h1.page-heading {
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 32px;
font-weight: 700;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}

The background Color is currently white but I want to change it to a darker one (similar to a brown / tobacco Color )

Thank you for your assistance

Do you mean the background for the whole page not just a row or column.

If it's the whole page go to the inspector panel, scroll to the top and double click on "Grid" this opens design panel , scroll down until you reach the background section, open it (if not already open) click background if you want solid colour (choose from clour picker), or clich new gradient to give it a cool looking gradient
