easy way i think would be to just install this and choose the dark color.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/
you can also use this below css and copy it where ever you can put custom css
jetpack css module
custom css plugin
you can find the exact css in bbpress.css and just replace it with the one im posting.
you can of course change inherit to and other color like black or its hex #000 for example.
if im missing something please reply back

Hi those codes worked great on the bbpress forum paage! However they did not translate to the topics section. I added them to my child Css.styles.

Any idea why the background of these pages did not take to the CSS change?
Thx,

/* try to make these two different types of dark shades if you care about having an AB color pattern of replies/topics/forums. */
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: inherit;
}
#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {

}
Odds and even no. replies have alternating colors
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: #fbfbfb;
}
#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color: #fff;
}
Hmm my reply got cut off. Anyway good news. I learned it is important to spell !important with an “r”. Thanks for the help. Site is coming along. Much appreciated!
