Why the background stays black, and how button colours work
Concierge, Frame, Cinema and Director are dark by design and cannot be lightened; to get a light page rebuild on a light template. Button colour comes from the Colors card, button shape from Button style.
Some templates are dark by design and their black background is built in: Concierge, Frame, Cinema and Director. On those the Colors card changes only the accent, and a prompt like "make the background white" will not lighten the page. To get a light page, rebuild the site on a template that looks light in its preview; Linen is warm cream and Blank Slate takes any background.
Button colour comes from the site's palette, so the Colors card is what changes it. The Button style card changes the treatment, meaning the shape, fill effect and hover behaviour, painted in whatever the palette already is.
