Hi, 

I am trying to change the background colour of an existing hubspot email template named magazine email fullpack to black. 

I am following instructions: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/email/how-do-i-change-the-background-color-for-a-... 

Replacing all instances of {{ background_color }} with a desired # hexadecimal color value isn't as easy as it sounds.

I have had some success using the coding: 

background-color: {{ "#000000;" }}; in some areas

however the full background remains white and this coding is not working on this area, and I'm not sure what to replace this with to change the background colour to black. 

Any ideas?

The coding currently reads:

<div id="preview_text" style="display:none;font-size:1px;color:{{background_color}};line-height:1px;max-height:0px;max-width:0px;opacity:0;overflow:hidden;"> 

it also appears again here:

background-color: {{ background_color }}; /* Use body to determine background color */

I have changed it everywhere else 🙂

I will also need to change the font to white - but one problem at a time! haha!

Thanks 🙂

Hey there,

I would try setting it like this:

background-color: #000000;

No need for the quotes or double braces when using hexadecimal values.
