Changing Background color/pattern

How do I go about changing the background in the content and menu regions? Looking to do something similar to http://rbonon.com/1/ or have a very subdued pattern filling the area behind post blocks on the right.
Thanks!

Can you share the solution?

The method I found easiest was accessing the theme files through an FTP client like Fetch. The background image can be found in wp-content -> themes -> endless -> lib -> images -> bg -> body.png
I copied the file to my computer and using the the edge of the grey area as a reference (since it aligns to the menu area in the theme), I changed the image to something that suited me, saved the file with the same name and replaced it on the server. Whatever you put back on the site will repeat endlessly (unless you change the stylesheet, which would not be a good idea considering the theme is meant to go on endlessly).
Hope that helps… and if there is a better way, please feel free to correct me.
