I was able to change some of my message pane background by adding the following to the userContent.css file:

/* Thunderbird userContent.css */

@-moz-document url-prefix("imap:"),url-prefix("mailbox:"),url-prefix("news:") { 

 body {
   background-color: #404552 !important;
 }

} @-moz-document url-prefix("about:blank?compose") { 

 body {
   background-color: #404552 !important;
 }

}

I also tried adding the following to my userChrome.css file: /* Message pane */

  1. msgHeaderView { 
 background-color: #404552 !important;

}

  1. messagePane { 
 background-color: #404552 !important;

}

Why do I still get these two dark gray areas (see attached)? What css do I need to add to get them to be the lighter grey?

You probably want your senders to stop specifying a background colour!
