Let’s add more spice to the first paragraph by adding the “Midnight” gradient background color.
We can add a background color to any block inside the editor, not just text-based blocks.
Anyway, we can add the “Midnight” gradient background to the first paragraph in three easy steps:
1) Select the first paragraph
2) Under the Sidebar settings for the paragraph block, you’ll find a section dedicated to “Color”.
Click on the “Background” option.
As you can see, the pop-up for changing the background color contains two contains:
The “Solid” tab is the default tab on the opening of the pop-up.
Under the “Solid” tab, WordPress provides you with two color schemes:
You can choose any of these colors.
But I want more dynamism for the background color of the first paragraph.
So, click on the “Gradient” tab and choose the “Midnight” option:
And bang!
The first paragraph now looks unreadable, isn’t it?
The black color text with a dark background makes the text unreadable.
So, here is your next challenge.
The fix is simple here.
We need to give enough contrast between the text and its background.
So, change the text color of the first paragraph to white.
1) Under the “Color” section, click on the “Text” button.
2) Choose any color that has enough contrast with the dark-blue background. I choose white.
That’s all, easy, isn’t it?
