Apologies if anyone has spent a significant amount of time on this.

I have worked it out for myself by using the w3 css validator. I had inserted what I thought were single-line comments using // which the validator could not parse. I changed each of these to /* .........*/ comments and the colour returned.

Wasn’t sure so I just tried it again and made sure that I pressed Ctrl+F5. The background colour still reverts to its default grey.
