If you take the second image Erscheinungsbild (CSS) and change the value of Hintergrundfarbe and click on Anwenden, then the background colour should change accordingly. If not, go into code view and in the first 15 lines of code you should be able to find code similar to

body {
background-color: #D70609;
}

change that to read (i.e. add !important)

body {
background-color: #D70609 !important;
}

There are two different ways to set a background colour, namely

background: green;

and

background-color: green;

Depending on which one was set prior to you changing the colour will determine which one to use for the override.

If in doubt, use background: green !important;
