Make sure you create a backup before you play around this feature.

Second, to pick a color, use a tool like this one I just picked randomly by doing an online search for "CSS colors":
https://www.quackit.com/css/css_color_codes.cfm

Move the slider up and down to pick a color space, and then move the picker around to choose the color. 

Once you've found the color you want to use, make a note of the hex value, the one that starts with a hash mark.
For example, pure blue is 0000ff.

I made some notes in my article about the CSS Tool that may be helpful:
