I can't seem to change the background color for this theme.

I did a search for "background" in the style.css file and changed the color codes there but it did not change the color of the background.

link to site?

2 good tools to have on hand

firefox browser with the firebug add on. They help a great deal with locating and manipulating css.

the coloring is coming from style.css

line 969

#main_body {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
color:#000000;
width:100%;
}

The above I colored the background white and the text black. That handles the main body.

the header color can be changed altering

line 897

#main_header {
background:#0A2B43 url(/themes/appleweb/images/bg.gif) repeat-x scroll 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
height:216px;
margin:0 auto;
width:100%;
}

when using firebug
turn it on
inspect the element and find the necessary divs you will then be shown where the css is being called.
