title: Bootstrap changing background-color
body: <p>Working on a quote generator website. I added bootstrap, and in the css code, I have a part where I set the HTML element's background-color to a blue-green mix shade. bootstrap just decides to override the CSS code and sets the part of the page that has content's background color to white. Why and how can I keep my background-color to what I want it to be</p>
