how do I get the background colour to show? Finding it difficult to figure out.

On the quiz and I'm struggling to get the background colour to show, is there any chance I someone can give me a run down on this?

Thanks

Hi Lamaar,

We'd need to see the question and list of responses please. Then I'm sure we could have a crack at it! :)
