News Module Footer Background (How do I change it?)

Ok so I'm having some problems with my News module I'll try to be as detailed as possible as far as what I have tried so my question will be answered. I am editing the 3D-Fantasy style that came included in my Php-nuke install. Please ignore the strange borders and such I am just trying out a few styles before I draw the rest of them up.

Ok so let's get to it. This is what my news article currently looks like:

Again ignore the borders, I am running into a problem with the bottom "footer" type area of the news window where it displays the date and read more link. I cannot figure out how to get the background to change. This may be a theme issue but I'm not entirely sure. I've gone through style.css as well as theme.php and changed every hex-color value to my desired dark blue without much luck (I did get the colors behind the text to change as you can see.) I also went into a php file with the OpenTable() information and added a line for bgcolor1 and it worked fill in the background for every single block and module except for this bottom part. I went through every php file I have looking for a #ffffff (white) I could change but without luck.

I spent the last few days trying to find the right area to define this. If you know how I can get it to change colors or where I could put a line in to change it that would be awesome. Or, if you know a different module without that bottom part that works like news or a way to remove that part from the News module that would work just as well.

This area is broken:

I'm still looking for some help if anyone know how to fix this problem. I've tried a few different News modules but they all seemed to be a modification of the basic one, and each gives me the same result as above. I've finished the borders a while ago I'll try to get a new screen shot so it's a little clearer.

A possible solution may be to use the Messages, it's an admin module but it displays the newest topics at the bottom and I haven't found how to switch that but I'll keep working on it.

Any help on this would be much appreciated, I check back here often.

Edit: Here is a better shot of what is going on. Just put a basic matching border on for now to help everyone see exactly what I'm trying to change better.

I don't know where exactly this is generated in your theme, but check theme.php as well as any news article HTML files.

Awesome thanks, I'll check when I get home from work. I can't remember if I've gone through all the of the HTML files but I'll keep you updated if I find it anywhere.

Thanks a ton, I looked through my source and found what you were talking about. I never thought to look through the source for an error. This was a theme problem after all I appologize for posting in the modules forum.

I changed the bgcolor right in my 'story_home.html' file. For some reason the theme 3DFantasy doesn't have this value pulling from any variable in the css. Thanks for all the help it was an easy fix once you pointed out what to look for.
