If you want a full page background color in your auction you need to make a small colored square in your Paint program, convert it to a .gif or .jpg file and upload it to your server the same way you would upload an image.

<style> <!--body {background: url(YOUR-URL-HERE)}--> </style>
<body background=YOUR-URL-HERE>
