Hi @ahernhouse,

1. Please wait a few hours, there seems to be a bug in the theme. We will be releasing an update by today.
2. Try following code in Appearance=> Customize=> Additional CSS box:
/* Code for search button bg */
button, button[disabled]:hover, button[disabled]:focus, input[type="button"], input[type="button"][disabled]:hover, input[type="button"][disabled]:focus, input[type="reset"], input[type="reset"][disabled]:hover, input[type="reset"][disabled]:focus, input[type="submit"], input[type="submit"][disabled]:hover, input[type="submit"][disabled]:focus {
background-color: #000000;
border: 2px solid #000000;
}
/* Code for search text field bg */
input[type="date"], input[type="time"], input[type="datetime-local"], input[type="week"], input[type="month"], input[type="text"], input[type="email"], input[type="url"], input[type="password"], input[type="search"], input[type="tel"], input[type="number"], textarea {
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
/* Code for footer bg */
#colophon {
background-color: #000000;
}
You can change the valuse of #000000 to any other colors too.
