To set different background colour to your custom blocks, please open your css style file and insert the below strings at the end of the file:
.bl_custom .titleTopLeft {background: #00f;}
.bl_custom .titleTopCenter {background: #00f;}
.bl_custom .titleTopRight {background: #00f;}
.bl_custom .block {background: #00f;}
.bl_custom .usual {background: #00f;}
If you are using a custom block without title, then just change .bl_custom to .bl_simple.
