Well I'm using a theme and oddly enough the quote box color is white while the text is white because it's a dark theme. How do I change the color of the quote box's background? I want it to be black with a white border. Any help?

in global.css find below or similar code

blockquote {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    margin: 0;
    background: #fff;
    padding: 4px;
}

change to

blockquote {
    border: 1px solid #fff;
    margin: 0;
    background: #000;
    padding: 4px;
}

color: #fff; may be also required :unsure:

Okay I did that but then I noticed something else with my quotes. Instead of doing it like normal it goes like the screenie in attachment. But it's supposed to look like this

You probably deleted part of the CSS, or the HTML.

Can we have a URL to your forum?

I bet I did.

1. Go to Admin CP > Templates & Style > Themes > Your Theme > global.css > Advanced Mode.

2. Find:

blockquote cite {
	font-weight: bold;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
	font-style: normal; #000
	display: block;
	margin: 4px 0;
}

3. Replace with:

blockquote cite {
	font-weight: bold;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
	font-style: normal;
	display: block;
	margin: 4px 0;
}

It's fixed now. thanks for the help.

You're welcome.
