Can you override a background colour set by a CSS?
I just need a white background on one of my pages, and want to continue using the CSS.

Yep, no sweat, simply add a style attribute to the body tag of the page you wish to override:
Code: 
<body style="background-color:#FFFFFF">

To elaborate, this is where CSS gets its name - Cascading Style Sheets:

You can specify style in an external style sheet, which can be overridden by an embedded style sheet placed in the document head, which in turn can be overridden by an inline style placed in the element itself. A simple case of hierarchy. :)
