Cloud: Code block background color

Question

Hi! We are using Atlassian Confluence and JIRA Cloud. This is a 2 part question.

1. Is there a way to change/customise the current "Confluence" theme (or any theme for the matter)?

2. When specifying, for example, {code:sql} code block macro, how to change background color of the block?

Hi @AnnWorley

Thanks for the response. Where do I navigate to  "Edit 'Code Block' Macro" ?

All I have is the _Configure Code Macro_, which I believe is different from what you had there. This is what I see...

For 2: You can format the colors and text by changing the theme and syntax highlighting but you cannot change the background to a custom color:
