I need help to change the colours of the Embedded theme.

I have managed to change the header part but I cannot seem to find the others. Here is what I am looking for.

Can anyone tell me what parts to change in the css file to do this?

This is the first part :)

    If you're going to mess with themes, you need at least a basic understanding of how to work with web styles in general. The absolute first step is to set up your web browser to help you find things.

    1) Get Firefox - http://getfirefox.com
    2) Install "Firebug" - http://getfirebug.com
    3) In the bottom corner of your browser you'll see a little bug. Click it
    4) A Panel will open at the bottom of your screen. On the top left of it will be a small blue box with an arrow in it. This is the "Inspect Tool". Click it.
    5) Your curser is now able to target elements of the page and inspect both their HTML and the CSS that is being applied to them. Critically, it also tells you the filename and line number of each matching rule.

    Use this.
