Is there a way to put a color behind the columns?

I have one column that is overlaying a background photo. The text does not show up very well over the background photo, so I want to add a background to the column text, which is now transparently overlaying the background photo. I want to put the text on a contrasting background color instead. 

Is there a way to do this?

This can be done within custom css only. Please setup custom class for column item where you want to setup own background color, and then send us url to page where you got this column with custom class name and we'll have a look on it.

How do I set up a custom class for a column on just one page? I tried using the CSS box on the column element found in Muffin Builder, and this did not work. 

I used this code: 

p {
    background-color: rgb(255,0,255);
}

As we wrote above, we asked to setup just class name for column, like:

MY-BLUE-COLUMN

that's it. Just name for column. Please do this and then let us know. The field where you probably used css is for class name, not css. Each css should be used under Theme options > Layout > Custom CSS & JS > Custom CSS section.
