How to change background color of Facebook comments for Dark Themes

If your blogger site has a dark theme, you may be scratching your head wondering how to make the text legible.  Because it is a 3rd party integration, I can't find anywhere the ability to switch the Facebook comments module theme from light to dark.  So, I recently switched my overall theme to a darker background which made all of my Facebook Comment modules look like the picture above on left:

Ugly right?  Well because the comment module is essentially an iframe, you have very few options for editing text colors. Your only real option as far as I can tell is to use CSS to change the background color behind the module.   You can do this with a single line of code and you'll get something more like this:

All you need to do is add this code to your advanced CSS and you can change the background to any color you like. Replace the #eeeeee with whatever hex color you want.

div.fb-comments.fb_iframe_widget.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop {background-color:#eeeeee!important;}
