Unable to modify the formatting of this block within the forum (CSS)

I've been working on customizing a theme by changing the colors.

While updating an IPB theme, I have successfully converted most of it from white to grey, except for one part.

I've attached a Gyazo link with a sample post where the white color appears below the userblock. How can I adjust this to match the rest of the post block?

If you're a Chrome user:

  1. Simply right-click on the blank area
  2. Select "inspect element" from the menu
  3. Navigate to the elements tab if you're not already there
  4. Take note of the right side of the window
  5. Identify where the white color is coming from
  6. Click on the link at the top right of the selector
  7. Voila! You'll find the specific line of CSS in your stylesheet that needs to be changed

Opera offers similar functionality since it's based on Chromium.

Firefox has comparable features, but feel free to do your own research on that.

As for IE... let's not even go there.
