    Does anyone know of a plugin that works with the latest version of WordPress and with the Twenty Seventeen theme which will allow me to change the background color of individual posts. For example, one post will have a red background another post will have a blue background, etc.

    You’d do that with custom CSS.

    I can do custom css, but I want the non-techy post editors to have an option to select a background color from a color picker. I tested a few plugins that claim to do this but, I couldn’t find any that worked.

    I’ve done this for a few clients using Advanced Custom Fields, putting a dropdown list of colors in a metabox on the right side of the edit post/page page and using the choice of that metabox to set a body class, then setting a color based on the body class. Convoluted, but it works. If you’d rather use a color picker, you’d just drop the CSS inline rather than doing it through the css file.
