I would like the background color of my email invite to be this color: #173963. Is there a way to code that?

Hello and good day from a sunny Sweden!

The easiest would be to just add the below HTML in the email:

Thank you for your help, MattiasM! This did work when drafting the email in Qualtrics, but when I sent a preview email the background color did not appear in my gmail account. So I researched that and found the following code in the link below that worked:

@MattiasM Thanks for your help! Would you mind sharing the code again? For some reason the code is not showing up.

Good morning from a windy Sweden!

I cant remember what I wrote unfortunately, but in general you just need to specify the background in the body, so the setup would be something like: <body bgcolor="hex_number or rgb_number">.

MattiasM original code:

<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #173963;
}
</style>

ChelseaIC original code, includes a table and changes the background color of the table so will display in gmail:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="650" valign="top" align="center" bgcolor="#173963">
....
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
