Good Day,
I am a new poster. I have read some information about posting etiquette and how to write a good post. I may not have gotten everything right, but I think I've gotten some things right.
Writing to ask you help about the following:
Changing the footer colour.
I am using WP 3.6.1 (most updated version as of Friday Sept 13, 2013) and Theme Alley’s Thea.
Here is the example of a funky footer colour, The blog is using Thea by Theme Alley, and the person has figured out how to turn the footer into a checkered cloth to highlight the picnic theme.

I am looking for either instructions or step by step what and where to paste code.
I am also wondering about sites where I can find neat footer theme. (Like this table cloth example etc.)
I consulted forums and this thread specifically:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/change-footer-text-color?replies=17
The concept of CSS is outside my knowledge. I don’t know how to code. These remars were too advanced for me to follow. Hex codes? Yikes!
I moved on to this thread, again beyond my understanding:
then this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-background-color-header-footer
and this instruction specifically:
write your custom CSS in Appearance->Theme Options->Design Options->Custom CSS input field to hide the Header and Footer pattern. And Save the Changes.
Those instructions hung at Theme Options as it took me to a Theme Alley page and offered paid upgrade themes.
Under Appearances -> Edit Themes
On the right it says, “This child theme inherits templates from a parent theme, Destro.”
On the left it says,
The Thea code currently says:
