and that didn't get me anywhere. Can any of you direct me to a resource that will help me figure out how to do this? Or, can you not change the background color of the frame anywhere but within that frame's file?

I hope this makes sense! I am so new to HTML that I might be explaining this incorrectly, so please bear with me. I'm happy to provide more info if you need.

I'm wondering if there's a better/more efficient way to do this. I tried something like this for my right-hand frame:
