Special background color for page used as Home page

Thanks for replying. I wonder, is it any use posting url of a site which is in Construction Mode? I mean, without creating a special user account and all that? Which way do you prefer in such cases?

The good news: I have finally found (in some forum entry) the CSS to hide that page:

.home .site-content {
display: none;
}

This problem solved!

Now the header section still has a big gap between site headline and header image. Perhaps even without looking at the code, could you post a few names of header elements that come into question, and whether I would rather play around with padding or with margin?
