Describe the bug

Hi there.
I created a website using this template and have a add-on css overwriting the original css configurations. I could not get the background color (originally #FFFFF in main.scss) to change for each item in the sidebar recent posts container. I would like to know how to change the mini-post items to go along with the rest of my webpage color

I will attach the code below and the exact modification I'm seeking:

code:

#recent-posts {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: space-between;

header {
flex: 1 1 100%;
}
.mini-post {
background: transparent;
border: solid 1px rgba(160, 160, 160, 0.3);
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
margin-bottom: 1em;
width: 100%;
@include for-laptop-up {
width: 49%;
}
@include for-desktop-up {
width: 100%;
}
header {
min-height: 4em;
padding: 1.25em 1.25em 0.1em 1.25em;
position: relative;
@include for-laptop-up {
border-top: solid 1px rgba(160,160,160,0.3);
}
@include for-desktop-up {
border: 0;
}
h1 {
font-size: 0.7em;
}
.published {
display: block;
font-family: "Raleway", Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.6em;
font-weight: 400;
letter-spacing: 0.25em;
margin: -0.625em 0 1.7em 0;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.author, .format {
position: absolute;
right: 2em;
top: 2em;
}
}
section {
flex-grow: 1;
overflow: hidden;
.image {
&:hover {
img {
-moz-transform: scale(1.05);
-webkit-transform: scale(1.05);
-ms-transform: scale(1.05);
transform: scale(1.05);
}
}
img {
display: block;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
-moz-transition: -moz-transform 0.2s ease-out;
-webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 0.2s ease-out;
-ms-transition: -ms-transform 0.2s ease-out;
transition: transform 0.2s ease-out;
width: 100%;
}
}
}
}
}

Just as a heads up, both of the main maintainers of this theme just got back to work this fall and are swamped. We are still facilitating PRs from contributors, but our personal contributions are slim at the moment.
